The Collecting Of Timothy Taylor

Illustrated by Stephen Bray

Collecting rubbish along the beach is Timothy Taylor's favourite past time. The beach is his territory. In fact, the beach is his home. He has a handful of belongings and he scavenges the beach for treasure and to keep it clean. But not everyone likes a scavenger and a push to move Timothy off the beach presents new troubles for the community. Only the efforts of a child can make the people of the town see the value of Timothy, the value of another human being. And only a child can make them see all the beauty and treasure that the beach has to offer and what will happen to the beach should Timothy be gone forever
