In "Brother Egbert and the Carpenter of Willingford" by Steve Eggleton, readers are transported to a quaint medieval village where Brother Egbert, a bumbling yet endearing monk, finds himself embroiled in a series of comedic misadventures. When a skilled carpenter arrives in Willingford, tensions rise as the townsfolk vie for his attention to complete their projects. Amidst the chaos, Egbert must navigate quirky villagers, unexpected friendships, and his misguided attempts at innovation. As he uncovers hidden talents within himself and those around him, the story weaves themes of community, creativity, and the importance of embracing one's uniqueness in a delightful, lighthearted narrative.

Steve Eggleton studied art and design at Portsmouth, and is now a well-known sculptor. He has worked as an artist and as a teacher while restoring the Tudor farmhouse he lives in, but he has become best known for his relief sculpture, which is strongly influenced by his love of medieval carving (his sculptures and carved signs can be seen across East Anglia). Steve has published numerous articles on sculpture and wood-carving, and contributed to a number of books on the subject.
