The Three Crow Boys



The setting is London, in the wake of a terrible war. Between mounds of rubble and bomb craters stands the house of a lonely old blind man. Late one night he receives three unexpected visitors and tragedy follows.\n\nThis is an original fairy tale, exploring the nature of monsters and madness. Not for the faint-hearted, it follows in the dark footsteps of the Brothers Grimm, Charles Perrault and Angela Carter and is narrated by Tim McInnerny.
