Description

A monkey in military regalia washes up on Hartlepool beach after a ship sinks during a storm. The locals are shocked to see a Frenchman, despite never having seen one before. This unusual survivor is court-martialled and found guilty of being a "brutish, bestial castaway". A tragi-comic tale of war, xenophobia, and enlightenment follows the monkey's journey. The story is inspired by a famous legend from Hartlepool's history. It explores themes of prejudice, ignorance, and the power of understanding. With its unique blend of humor and commentary on human nature, this book offers a thought-provoking read. Published in 2013, "The Hartlepool Monkey" is a hardcover edition with 98 pages.
