This story ventures into the interior world of a luminous, quirky personality, a character evoked in such a way that his age and capacity beguile and puzzle right up to the story's climax. The night and day of Uncle Jack's imaginative world, his fears and fantasies and fabulous passions come to life with characters reminiscent of mythology, nursery rhymes and childhood stories. Rich with the warmth of family life and rituals, this book explores the power of light-handed loving and the ability to be gloriously who you are.
