What is The Castle That Jack Built about?
King Jack has built a splendid castle, but a greedy dragon steals the gold hidden inside. As Jack sets off to recover his treasure, the dragon’s escape leads to a topsy-turvy chain of events involving a witch, a troll, a frog and a girl in a silver gown. With magic potions, surprising transformations and a royal romance along the way, this lively retelling of the classic nursery rhyme ends with treasure returned, old enemies forgiven and everyone safe in the castle that Jack built.
