St Offraed's Relic

St Offraed’s Relic. A tale to raise spirits.

 

Absurdity is everywhere, and it’s all the fault of the adults.

If you don’t mind giggling openly on a train on your way to and from work, then St Offraed’s Relic is for you. If you champion the innocence of unindoctrinated childhood over the rut of adulthood stupidity, then St Offraed’s Relic is for you. If you enjoy a madcap whirlwind adventure with a satisfactory end, that Shakespeare would describe as ‘this business is well ended’……St Offraed’s Relic is certainly for you.

If you’re looking for well-trodden tales of ordinary people on forgettable emotional journeys, skip this book. If you crave love stories, domestic dramas, or tales that echo a thousand others, St Offraed’s Relic is not for you. There are no dragons and wizards here. The fantasy of the real human condition is much funnier.

St Offraed’s Relic is like no other book. It attempts to face up to who we are. Through a series of unique hilarious events, St Offraed’s Relic fires a group of innocent village kids into a landscape formed by adult belief systems and behaviour. They navigate their way around the adults in an attempt to capture an ancient Saxon relic, thought responsible for all the ills of the village. St. Offraed’s Relic is a comedy of belief, misinterpretation and bewilderment. A satire of grown-up nonsense and the strange truths only children can see.

St Offraed’s Relic is a story for adults but acted out through the eyes of children. You are invited to go back in time and become one of them again, and understand the silly world we create, through their eyes.

St.Offraed’s Relic has a serious message but uses comedy and absurdity to hopefully prompt a thought or two about our belief systems.
