Stories in the dust
Stories in the Dust

The sun beats down on two travellers, journeying across a mysterious land in a contraption they've built themselves. They sing, play games, and tell stories inspired by a collection of precious things they've gathered from a time gone by. With live music and puppetry, Stories in the Dust is a funny, heartfelt and hopeful eco-fable that takes you to another world. A world where an ancient book guides your way, a drop of rain changes everything and a mighty lion holds its secrets in an old clay pot. Will our intrepid explorers make it? They're full of ideas and full of hope but dangerously low on baked beans. 'Elegant engaging eco-fable' **** The Reviews Hub. Ideal for ages 5-12 but suitable for all the family.
