X (a fairy tale)
Kate - Happenence

A fairy tale – The kingdom is in a crisis. There is much financial trouble due to the debts of Queen Cinderella. With a king who can’t say no to his queen, a queen who’s addicted to glass shoes and a population who treat their beautiful queen as the one and only fashion icon there’s trouble to pay. Chiropodists everywhere are in demand. The price of glass has rocketed. The general shoe market is in collapse with its antiquated techniques. The specialised glass houses are holding the kingdom to ransom.

And somewhere, with an ordinary pair of shoes, a practical knee length dress covered by a not-so-white apron and too much dirt under her nails, there is a young girl called Tilly-Anne.


Under the advice of Old Man Jarmin, and in the company of Pedro the goat herd and the odd but intelligent Metilée, Tilly-Anne goes in search of the answers that the older generation just aren’t ready to face.
