Snail Tales presents 'A Little
Bird Told Me...'
Touring 2012/13
Be the first to hear the next generation of fairy tales!
Wizards, witches and magical animals join boys and girls like you on crazy quests and wacky adventures. Each short story in this selection has been created by children from UK primary schools, and adapted by professional storytellers to include puppetry, live music, magic, and lots of joining in!
Sometimes moral, sometimes delightfully absurd, but always colourful, curious and fun... This insight into the world of the modern child’s imagination – from helpful gazelles to dragon poo – is a treat for the whole family.
