Performance storytelling by Jan Blake and Ben Haggarty

The fairytale landscape is littered with little (and not-so-little) boys and girls who don't just get into trouble, but make trouble. Leading performance storytellers Ben Haggarty and Jan Blake hop-scotch through the rarer reaches of world folklore to celebrate the children, their deeds, their misdeeds...and their come-uppance.
