Book Description
Bobby loves to sit and watch the world go by from his favourite viewing place, that of Mrs Mason’s church bench. Gifted with an eidetic memory and an overcurious mind, there is not much that passes his eye. When, one ordinary Saturday morning, a blonde-haired lady trips over on the street cobbles and causes somewhat of a stir amongst the shoppers, Bobby takes in all the details. He sees the precise actions of the gentleman, who rushes to her assistance, the grateful response of the fallen blonde and the covert and purposeful placing of a white envelope into the stand-alone carrier bag, a bag that belongs to the helpful gentleman. Aside from Bobby, no one else notices.
Intrigued by what he has witnessed, Bobby decides to follow the carrier bag owner, who, oblivious to the fact that he now has a mysterious white envelope in his possession, makes his way through the town to the local Antiques and Assortments store. After much pondering and waiting, Bobby too enters the store, where he soon finds himself immersed in a world of seemingly every conceivable knick-knack but also a secret world of strange war memorabilia, striking images and personal testimonies. He has inadvertently entered the fascinating world of the eccentric Mr Nathan Katz.
Guided by his overpowering curiosity, Bobby chooses to delve further into his surroundings, and thus the adventure begins.
