The Gardener and Other Short Stories is the new book by Luke Carter and Anna Ametller, featuring 7 short stories and over thirty unique illustrations! It was written in Spain during the lockdown and is full of fun and engaging tales.
A postman is reading peoples letters. Things keep going missing in the town of Vanishing. And what could possibly go wrong when a kind man offers to do the gardening for his elderly next door neighbor? Welcome to a world of surreal villages, suspicious characters and delicious twists that will excite and leave you wanting more!
“The town of Vanishing received its name back in 1567. The King had been out hunting nearby and lost his favourite dog. He ordered six-hundred men to search the area but, the beast was never seen again. Far more shocking was that neither were the six-hundred men.”
The book was launched via Kickstarter and will raise money for publishing over the next month. Along with the book, there are a range of cool rewards to buy, share, wear and even grow! These will include an e-book in both Spanish and English, personalized T-shirts, mugs, limited edition prints and even a very special audiobook.
To ensure the best quality book, the excellent La Imprenta CG in Valencia will be printing the first edition. Books will be ready to purchase from April.
