Description

Greed made Gustave rich… then ruined him.

When Gustave, a humble confectioner, creates the perfect gobstopper, he’s suddenly rich beyond belief. But with fortune comes arrogance. As his empire grows, his treatment of workers worsens—long hours, low pay, and no care for the people who made him successful.

But greed doesn’t last forever.

When his overworked staff revolt, Gustave’s business collapses. Redemption only arrives through an unexpected offer—from his older brother, who shows him that success means nothing without fairness and kindness.

Gustave’s Gobstoppers is a rhyming fable for children and adults alike. Packed with rich illustrations and a moral centre, this cautionary tale explores ambition, generosity, and the dangers of forgetting what really matters.

Perfect for fans of The Lorax and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, this beautifully illustrated story is ideal for thoughtful readers aged 4 to 8 — and for grown-ups who appreciate a sweet story with bite.
