"TAVS" består af fjorten fortællinger om den forældreløse dreng Tavs og de personer og omgivelser, der kommer til at betyde noget for hans udvikling. CECIL BØDKER angiver ikke nogen bestemt tidsperiode, men kolorit og miljø peger mod 1800-tallet og den liberalisme, der prædiker, at enhver er sin egen lykkes smed. Rent bogstaveligt går Tavs i smedelære, men driften i ham går mere mod kunsten end mod håndværket. Kunstneren i ham stiller ham på de svages side. I en tid uden socialt sikkerhedsnet bliver Tavs den, der udfra sin natur tager sin skæbne i egne hænder, men også griber ind i andres i hjælpsomhed og samhørighed.

HARLEY kalder ALBERTE ham. Men man bør bemærke, at CECIL BØDKER har valgt titlen "TILSTANDEN HARLEY". Hun har villet mere end skildre det uansvarlige menneske.
