'I am Carpet. This is my story....

'A whimsical journey through the life of a beautiful carpet — from its weaving in Persia to a rich Western household, through an opportunity shop to a new life with a modern family — in which the carpet experiences all the highs and lows and joys and sorrows of its generations of human owners in their daily lives.

At the end of its useful life, the carpet happily returns to nature to enrich the growth of the plants in the garden where it has been discarded.' (Publication summary)
