Harry the Huntsman

From the imaginative world of Addison’s Tales comes the beguiling story of Harry – possibly the most charming spider ever to protect humans from winged blood suckers.

Meet Harry – the short-sighted ‘door’ spider who wanders the land fighting bloodthirsty mosquitoes in return for a little accommodation from strangers. Charlie, being a sensible boy of seven, accepts the spider’s offer of security services and allows Harry to perch on the bookshelf beside his doorway. It is there that Harry proves himself to be a curiously polite and well-read bodyguard tough enough to handle the might of the Blood Brothers – a gang of vicious and half-witted mosquitoes led by the nefarious Caspius Cruel.

Funny, warm and packed with fun, this little gem will give you a good idea of what awaits within the musical storyworld of Addison's Tales. Here are some reviews:
