I read Treacle Walker for my Booker Prize project. It is an unusual novella that reads a bit like a fairy tale or myth.
Joseph Cappock is a young boy with a lazy eye who wears an eye patch and lives by himself. One day a rag and bone man named Treacle Walker comes to the door, and Joseph trades a pair of used pajamas and a bone for his choice of one thing in a box. He chooses a jar. Treacle Walker also gives him a stone.
When he leaves, Treacle Walker tells him to clean his front step with the stone. The stone turns the dirty step white.
Joseph finds that he sees different things with his good eye than he sees with his bad eye. One day he sees the characters in one of his favorite comic books climb out of a cel and disappear through a mirror in his room. Using the stone, Joseph finds he can go through the mirror himself.
This is an imaginative novel told in some kind of vernacular. I wasn’t always sure what was going on, but the telling was enjoyable.
What? Me Read? 
I read a couple of Alan Garner’s books when I was young and my memory of them is that I never really had a clue what was going on! So it sounds like that must be his style!
Ha ha ha! This is my first one, probably my last unless one turns up on one of my projects.
I really enjoyed this one but I didn’t really understand it!
Me, too!
