Summary

Oddball Mr Daniels has spent his life sorting chaos into order. In the basement of a shabby Town Council building, he has meticulously labelled, guarded and sometimes claimed the lost property of Dobbiston's residents for thirty years; a life's work carried out mostly unnoticed. But when a bored teenager on work experience interrupts his routine, Mr Daniel's underground world is revealed to be both a lonely prison of his own making and a refuge for his peculiar, uncurbed creativity. A place where hit-and-miss experiments to make the elixir of life, or record the music of the spheres, help him to grieve and search for existential truths.
