The Blue Peddler

“Madness and freedom and violence were new to him: loneliness was familiar, something he understood.”

“.. what is this one life in the whole pattern of life, what is this one death but a passing of time… And if I were to die now, suddenly and without cause, What would happen, would it matter.. we live without knowing why or to what purpose.”

His works are the literary walks through the mist shrouded breezy Himalayas.

The Sea Prayer

Inspired by the haunting image of the Alan Kurdi, the three year old Syrian boy whose body washed up on the beach in Turkey in September 2015.

It’s only flaw is it’s incredibly short length. Sea Prayer is a rare winter bird behind the trees, singing, only to fly away in a moment.
Beautifully illustrated by British Painter Dan Williams.

The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse

I’d quote the whole book if I could.
A real treasure to hold on to or pass on to someone you love.

‘Quite, where once there was an orchestra of noise. The busiest of places stood empty and still. Normal things began to feel strage. Strange things began to feel normal.’
-Luke Adam Hawker

Together is a beautifully illustrated story of friendship, unity , empathy and kindness. A monumental storm brings huge and sudden change. We follow a man and his dog through the uncertainty that it brings to their lives. Through their eyes, we see the difficulties of being apart, the roller coaster of emotions that we can all relate to, and the realization that by pulling together we can move through the difficult times with new perspectives, hope and an appreciation of what matters most in life.
