Crusoe and the Stone Gardener (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781038336781)

In a fantastic version of 1960s Nova Scotia, a remarkable dog named Crusoe, haunted and hardened by loss, makes his home in the overgrown wild lands of the Dartmouth Commons.

It is here that Crusoe witnesses a strange but kindly man who returns day after day in an effort to restore the Commons to its former grandeur. After an unexpected encounter with a young elf girl named Elena, Crusoe learns that his fate is inextricably interwoven with that of the man, the elves, and an ancient evil that has made its lair beneath the park's summer house and begun to spread its tendrils throughout the Commons. Still bearing the burden of sorrow and memory, Crusoe now must face a destiny grander than he could ever have foreseen.

Inspired by the true story of Leighton Dillman and the Dartmouth Commons, Crusoe and the Stone Gardener is an enchanting and unforgettable tale of grief, love, and wonder. The magic of this timeless tale will take root in the reader's imagination and remain with them always.
