About this listen
"Why do you want to be a boat builder?"
"Because," said Morwenna, "I like the way the boats grow."
Morwenna and Corwin are eight years old, wind-swept and salty-haired twins growing up on the Devon coast. In the soft autumn light, they play as their grandfather, Matthew, watches the boats come in. But it is a day unlike any other.
Bringing Stan In is the short-story prequel to The House at the Edge of the World by Julia Rochester. If you liked this, you’ll love the full-length novel.

A glimpse of life... And death... By the sea.
A very pleasant little tale that touches on childhood dreams of the future and the experience of creative creation as well as death.

Thought provoking.
This book is certainly thought provoking, exploring the way in which children perceive death.
Thoroughly enjoyable, thank you.

Short sweet tale of life and death
A simple tale that tackles how different characters react to a death. The story took a while to get going, but the narration kept me listening. Rather quaint, but not show-stopping.
