Specifications
A story about lost umbrellas, questionable scientific theories, and unlikely friendships - from the author of Flake, winner of the 2020 Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize.
Where do all the lost things go? In Dobbiston, they likely end up in the hands of Mr. Daniels, the long-time keeper of the local lost property office. Deep within the bowels of the old council offices, he has spent a life quietly recording the neglect of his fellow citizens of Dobbiston.
But when something unexpected disrupts his routine, Mr. Daniels is forced to embrace a little of life’s chaos.
Through the vignettes of the Lost Property Office - a love story with a headband, a grandmother's collar, and a childhood toy on an intergalactic adventure - local tales are elevated to meaningful and profound, crafted with whimsical nostalgia and Dooley's humor.
