STUFF (Paperback POD)

Stuff is a visually rich, fun adventure, set to rhyme and in a Scottish castle, that revolves around the lives of Lord and Lady McStash and their young daughter, Flora, each with a very different attitude towards accumulating stuff. The story explores multiple themes - the ups and downs of hoarding clutter, the resourcefulness of children, entrepreneurship, the value of experiences over materialism, the wonder of the natural environment and, not least, the power of love!

 

SYNOPSIS

The daughter of a Scottish farming couple, Iona develops a habit of collecting things as a young child, an activity she continues to pursue through to adulthood and one that gradually overwhelms their farm. The neighbouring laird, Flash McStash, falls in love with Iona and, unfamiliar with her decorative ability, invites her to furnish his castle. How could he have imagined the results would be so transformative?!

 

Stuff is a delightful Spring clean for the mind, that will appeal to children (6+) and adults alike!

 

With Stuff, Jonathan has turned clutterly into utterly endearing. His delightful characters and original storyline will appeal to a diverse audience, including the Celtic diaspora, entrepreneurs, shoppers, hoarders and their families, stargazers, beachgoers, birdwatchers and lovers of the great outdoors!

 

Stuff offers heaps of humour, piles of progressive vocabulary with (a glossary of terms at the back of the book), stacks of mental stimulation and layers of lovely intrigue!

 

Stuff will help readers to prioritise what is important in life and provide parents and teachers with a collection of activities and thought-provoking themes for discussion.
