Flowers in Stony Places

If you have ever wondered about the significance of the daily details of living an ordinary life, of earning a living working at a simple job, then you will enjoy this little book. David Geddes, who has lived that same ordinary life we all experience, has the knack of instilling humour into the mundane, and bathos into those meaningful moments. In these small stories you’ll hear about the unlikely connection between a Scottish duke, his footman, and Jazz legend Louis Armstrong; about Constable Buck’s dogsled run from Fort Rae to Yellowknife for Christmas supplies; about besieged wasps, indignant ducks, and many others. You may just find that life isn’t so ordinary after all.
