Mickey is a refugee who has found his way to London. He lives in a cardboard box. He collects the lost gloves he finds on the streets each day and binds them into a coat, meanwhiles trying to reconnect each glove with their lost partners.  Confused and heartbroken to the point of insanity,  Mickey comes to believe the gloves are connected to his lost  family and all the dispersed peoples of our broken world. The book contains the complete cycle of lyrics written him, illustrating his daily trudges, his view of the world, his friends, his journey and the city,   illustrated in full colour with Mickey’s ongoing collection of lovingly rendered glove paintings:
 
Here is his meagre vittles, but all he meets can share it
and how the one true glove will bind them all,
for all can wear it.
