The Miracle of Pont-l'Abbe

The Miracle of Pont-l'Abb is the final story in the collection Stories for Boys by Barry Stewart Hunter and a particular favourite of our publisher's: 'Read this fragile tale and you'll be hooked like a bar, mulet, talan, requin - on the prose of this fine and thoughtful writer.'

Paul-Antoine - 'Toine - is a special boy, given a special job at the biscuiterie of Pont-l'Abb , famed for its sweet and salty, all-butter Breton galettes. The boy has a stuttering cortex, lightning-fast as a calculator, and a destiny involving fish, the Gulf of Morbihan and the local economy of the port of Pont-l'Abb .

The Miracle of Pont-l'Abb is the first book in the Publisher's Choice series, a collection of slim volumes selected by our publisher at the Cambridge Queer Press.
