Synopsis
Little Tiffany, who is taken to an orphanage run by an authoritarian matron, much to her despair, convinces three bandits to kidnap her so she can escape her fate.
True to the world of the renowned Tomi Ungerer, here’s a playful and colorful tale where even the villains prove to be endearing. We start with a little shiver down the spine, but humor, adventure, love, and song quickly take over for a most delightful journey.
Hayo Freitag
