The Island Nobody Drew

Jack Bramble

A crumb of bread lands on the map, and suddenly it is a cove worth exploring. Three children with string, patience, and a hayloft for a crow's nest draw an island into being where the chart says nothing should be. Jack Bramble's story suits listeners around six to ten who like to build forts and rename the furniture. It is gentle, slightly meandering, and full of small discoveries. Angus Ferrier reads with the unhurried warmth of someone who has also spent afternoons on important projects made of very little. Good for quiet car rides or drawing alongside.
