"Every night, just when the dark was softest and sleep was deepest, there came a loud noise from the end of the great room. It came from the place where the loom and spindle stood, where by day the grandmother spun and the mother wove."

from "The Spindle Imp" by Alida Sims Malkus

Grimstones Hatched

Heading to the theatre for a Sunday Matinee; a puppet show called:

In tradition of Harry Potter comes The Grimstones – Hatched, a gothic fairytale told with giant books, exquisite old-world marionettes and sign language.
There’s a girl who reads dreams, a mother who sews garments lined with love and warmth, a grandfather who heals people with his magical concoctions and a baby boy with three legs…
This is a magical and inspiring tale with a sprinkle of comedy. Not just for children, The Grimstones appeals to the whole family.


I'm so looking forward to this.....I love puppet shows....it reminds me of my childhood; puppet shows and pantomimes during the school holidays.

What FUN!
