Inspired by Peggy Mangen and her faithful dog, Casper, The Stories That Remain centres on Mr Bolton and his own faithful dog, George, who narrates the story.

What at first seems a tale of a forgetful old man and his loving companion taking a long walk across Dublin quickly turns into something deeper and more meaningful as the reader quickly realises that all is not what it seems. The Stories That Remain deals with the debilitating illness that is Alzheimer s with immense sensitivity and care.
