Yards and Stripes: A Funny Book About Work, Business and Gardening.

By Michael Francis

Crocodile Dundee with a Lawn Mower

A ham-handed Australian swaps his Manhattan cubicle for the manicured gardens of Connecticut.

But there's one small problem - he doesn't know a weed from a hydrangea.

Armed with nothing but relentless self-belief and a franchise manual he probably should have read more closely, he soon discovers that his clients know their lawns and gardens better than he knows his own excuses.

What follows is a string of hilarious mishaps and disasters that somehow grow into something resembling a business, and a crash course in American suburbia - one yard at a time.

Part inspiring career change, part laugh-out-loud misadventure, Yards and Stripes is for anyone who has ever leaped before they looked, and those who would rather see an Aussie do it first.
