The Boy Who Fell into a Book

By Alan Ayckbourn
‘...an engaging nonstop fantasy adventure.’ BBCi

Served up with typical Alan Ayckbourn magic and lashings of imagination.

Nine-year-old Kevin is in bed reading Rockfist Slim and the Case of the Green Shakr. Before he knows it, Kevin falls into the action and meets his favorite detective. Together they journey through Kevin’s other books, meeting chess players, Red Riding Hood, the Wooblie family, ghosts, and Monique the assasin.

The Boy Who Fell into a Book emphasizes the importance of reading and the power of the imagination.
