In Mavin Road, there’s no time for hellos or chats until a lonely and mysterious biscuit maker’s magic brings everyone together.

The Biscuit Maker by Sue Lawson introduces us to Benedict Stanley, who lives alone with his cat in Mavin Road. Here, families hustle, joggers puff, and workers scurry to the train, and no one has time for anyone else. So Benedict begins making biscuits to mark moments in all their lives, leaving them secretly at their doors.

People start talking. Who is this mysterious biscuit maker?

When Benedict falls ill, Rory, the only person to know his secret, gathers the residents of Mavin Road and brings them to his door. This beautiful, heartwarming book celebrates community and human connection.
