One of several David Almond books available in Mummy Martin's Toybox, 'Counting Stars' is a collection of stories about his childhood and the people he gre up with: they merge memory and dream, the real and the imagined, truth and lies.
'We listen to the truth, the memories, the bits made up. We gaze at each other. We eat warm buttered toast. We know that the sun will fall, that the children and birds will be silent. We know that we will return to separate lives and separate deaths. We listen to stories, that for an impossible afternoon hold back the coming dark.'
