About This Book

A small boy in a close-knit seaside community navigates childhood through a sequence of domestic and school episodes. He copes with ordinary mischief and small humiliations, such as torn trousers, plays on rocks and classroom promotions, while family figures including his mother, father and a kindly teacher attend to his daily life. The narrative traces everyday rituals, neighborhood characters, animals, and a moment of grief at a funeral, blending gentle humor, social detail and the rhythms of seaside village life.
