This is a novel about a very special relationship between a Grandfather and his Grandson. They meet on a Sunday - always on a Sunday - and have been doing so since the Grandson was seven years old. It is a relationship that spans almost a century, recalling a childhood in Edinburgh, and a dwarf’s journey from a shoemakers shop in the Port of Leith to the city of Paris in the 1920"s. It is the story of a man’s passion for football, his love of music and his infatuation with books. It is a story about life and the circus, about Elvis and Jesus, and the perfect day for a funeral.
