Dave's Cave cover

In Dave's Cave, a character embarks on a humorous journey searching for a new home, only to discover that true happiness lies in appreciating what he already has.

In Dave's Cave, we meet a character named Dave who has a deep affection for his cozy cave, which is decorated just the way he loves it. The cave is not only a reflection of his personality but also features a delightful outdoor space complete with a lovely spot for a fire and lush green grass. Despite these comforts, Dave finds himself feeling discontented and wonders if there might be a better cave waiting for him somewhere beyond his familiar surroundings.

Driven by curiosity and a desire for adventure, Dave embarks on a quest to discover a new cave that might surpass his beloved home. As he journeys through various landscapes, he encounters different caves, each with its own unique features. However, he soon realizes that none of them can quite compare to the warmth and comfort of his own cave. This realization leads him to reflect on the true meaning of home and the value of what he already possesses.

Dave's Cave is a humorous and heartwarming fable that explores themes of contentment, belonging, and the importance of appreciating what we have. Through Dave's adventures, readers are reminded that sometimes the best place to be is right where you started, and that home is not just a physical space, but a feeling of comfort and happiness.

'...has all the hallmarks of a bedtime classic... both feather light and deeply profound about the human desire to find something better... but also a poem to the joy of what is known, loved and a bit crumpled at the edges.' - The Telegraph
