The Gritterman book cover

The Gritterman

Orlando Weeks

“The Gritterman” is an enchanting story about an ageing labourer who goes to work while the rest of the world sleeps. With wit and affection, the book paints a portrait of a man who finds purpose and meaning in gritting the paths, pavements, and roads. The story is an ode to the unsung hero and explores themes of stoicism and dignity. Accompanied by the author's illustrations, it's a fireside tale that will warm your heart.
