Summary

"Sometimes it feels like I might be the only person awake in the whole country. People might find that a lonely thought. Not me..."

As the rest of the world sleeps, the Gritterman goes out to work. Through the wind and the snow. Through the blue-black hours when time slips away, he grits the paths and the pavements and the roads. For him, a life without gritting is no life at all.

A song for the unsung hero, this is a story about stoicism, dignity, and a man leaving behind the work that he loves. It is accompanied by the author's own illustrations.

Listen to or download The Gritterman's companion album featuring 10 new tracks by Orlando Weeks. Available now on all digital and streaming platforms.
