With a swirl of his motley cape, Limkin, a grand storyteller commands the stage, dazzling the crowd with his glittering 'flash tales.' Backstage, sharp-eyed Millie sees through the spectacle. When she boldly confronts the man who tells lies, the theatre trembles – both are swept into the realm where stories are born. There, amid wonder and danger, they discover that neither cynicism nor falsehood can silence a story that is true. Co-created with New York Times bestselling author and illustrator Brad Montague (Fail-a-bration).
