The Bookbinder
hey say you can get lost in a good book…
The Bookbinder is a story of mystery, intrigue and charm. Peculiar things happen when a boy leaves home to make his fortune and finds himself learning the crafts of an apprentice bookbinder. In true storytelling style he is warned that he should not do anything that cannot be undone. With the arrival of a mysterious customer and an unusual book in need of repair, an atmospheric epic fable begins.
A handkerchief, a missing page, an old lady and a gap in the world are woven to create a delicious dark walk towards danger. The Bookbinder’s enchanting tale is told with a paper sculpted pop-up book, puppetry, shadow-play, exquisite music and cheeky humour.
Suitable for ages 8+
