What is The Glove Puppet Man about?
When the Glove Puppet Man finds his much-loved theatre smashed to pieces, he hurries to Mrs Smiley’s second-hand stall to seek help. But the whole town is in trouble, and everyone wants something from her. As he travels from one friend to another, the Glove Puppet Man discovers that kindness and clever thinking may be more useful than old treasures. Can he bring the townspeople together, repair the theatre and save the day before the curtain should rise?
