Throwing Buns To Elephants - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

A boy, a football, and a sky full of elephants…

Set against the smoky playgrounds and quiet backstreets of 1960s London, Throwing Buns To Elephants is a nostalgic, lyrical memoir of youth, wonder, and the strange beauty of growing up.

Ross Jenkins invites us into the mind of a boy who lives between two worlds — one of scraped knees and schoolyard rivalries, and the other full of vivid imagination, mystery, and magical creatures that live only in his dreams. Through dusty goalposts, lost crushes, and moments of quiet rebellion, we experience a time when childhood was untamed, honest, and unforgettable.

With warmth, wit, and stunning detail, Jenkins blends the ordinary with the extraordinary. Elephants walk across foggy fields. Time bends in the space between classes and the quiet walk home. And small moments — a stare, a silence, a stolen bun — carry the weight of entire lifetimes.

If you’ve ever felt the tug of memory, or wondered where your childhood has gone, this book is for you.

A poetic and touching journey through the golden haze of youth.
