Stories from the Otto Bin Empire

Large Print
In these six captivating short stories, meet some members of the Otto Bin Empire - the homeless men and women who gather down by the docks. Adam, the teenage runaway, who has just one goal- to stay lost. Until life offers him a second chance. Oskar, the elderly Polish immigrant, who to outsiders cuts a lonely figure. But every afternoon, at the giant chessboard in the park, Oskar becomes a star. The poet Reginald, who claims he just wants to observe. Then he meets young Sally - and the scruffy kelpie who hangs around the bins - and is inspired in ways he'd never imagined. Johnny, the generous, charismatic, habitual criminal, who is finally determined to turn his life around - if only he can stay out of jail. Benny, the Big Issue vendor with a heart of gold, who loves nothing more than helping others. And finally Madge, the much-loved Otto Bin matriarch. Her past has always been shrouded in secrecy, but now she's ready to share her story . . .
