Description:
"Treacle Walker" is a remarkable novel written by the acclaimed author Alan Garner. In this introspective and enchanting tale, readers are introduced to Joseph Coppock, a young boy with a lazy eye who observes the world around him with a unique perspective. Living alone in an old house, Joseph's world revolves around reading comics, collecting birds' eggs, and playing with his marbles.
One day, the enigmatic rag-and-bone man named Treacle Walker enters Joseph's life, initiating an unusual friendship. Their connection is forged through the exchange of an empty jar of a cure-all medicine and a donkey stone for a pair of Joseph's pyjamas and a lamb's shoulder blade. This seemingly ordinary barter sets the stage for a mysterious and magical relationship.
