This is the story of not long ago and not far away, of a city boy who loves stamps and a country boy who loves stories. When they grow up, the two boys take different paths (one becomes a prison guard, the other works in a factory), but their early childhood passions remain. When the country boy's stories of hope land him in prison, the letters and stamps sent to him from faraway places intrigue the prison guard and a unique friendship begins . . .
A story about imagination, passion, and friendship, The Stamp Collector teaches children that creativity and imagination can take you to the corners of the world, and that kindness and compassion can help sculpt you into an honourable friend.
"The Stamp Collector is a thoughtful, lyrical tale about how imagination and empathy take hold in different ways." -- Book Page
