magical happenings and a comic narrative that skips along nimbly." "...a briskly paced
boisterous show that is one of the jolliest and happiest I've seen" "Writer Neil Duffield
has gone back to the original tale for his version which is beautifully
told..." "If it's adventure,
fun, thrills and old-fashioned entertainment you're after - then look no

feast....a first-rate balance between the interesting, the funny, the
warm, the sad, and the spectacular." "Children at the

minor details from much earlier in the text..."
