Jimmy Candlestick is a modern boy whose life is fast and filled with gadgets. It is only when Jimmy falls ill and is whisked away to the country to stay with Mrs Fender that he begins to really live. When he learns to leave behind the tensions that he has grown used to, adventure comes his way, along with a new sense of freedom and happiness.

Here is a story that will not only intrigue young readers but it will show them the value of relaxation and meditation and offer them some ways to begin to practise these skills themselves.
