Edie, an evacuee, gets lost in Kensington Park Gardens where she meets Frippery and Gluck, Anak, Drone. In one magical night she is befriended by Anak, who introduces her to Frippery, and takes her to tea with Drone. Together they fight the evil faerie Dolour and recover the mysterious golden coffin.
A beautiful mixture of story-telling, dance and puppetry inspired by Rackham's drawings which brings his faeries to life. For faerie enthusiasts of all ages!
