Told through a lyrical blend of dark humour, magical realism, and nostalgic visions, this atmospheric drama introduces a host of unforgettable characters, each wrestling with lost dreams, unspoken desires, and the weight of small-town life. At the heart of it all is the enigmatic Master of Time - a sweeper of dreams - who moves between worlds and whispers truths to the sleeping community.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom Blind-Twitching Margaret and Char Lady Jayne, the town's ever-watchful busybodies, to a tormented folksinger-turned-barista, each voice in Ostler's Ford tells a story that is strange, beautiful, and deeply human. Readers will meet a love-struck student yearning for escape; a failed footballer haunted by fame that never arrived; a ghost that only one man can see, and a local preacher unravelling beneath the weight of his failing faith. The characters are bound together by melancholy, mystery, regret, and flickers of hope.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfect for fans of Dylan Thomas's Under Milk Wood or Alan Bennett's Talking Heads, this theatrical experience is a love letter to forgotten places, half-remembered dreams, and the strange magic that lingers in the spaces between. Ostler's Ford by Lamplight is not just an hour-long play - it's an invitation to wander the lanes of a town where time shivers, shadows speak, and nothing is quite as it seems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Juggsley Amis Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47966692671639,"sku":"9781068254840","price":651.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781068254840.webp?v=1782911862","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/ostlers-ford-by-lamplight-9781068254840","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
