The Man Who Planted Trees
★★★★★ Witty and enchanting:
In a world full of fear and worry, we all need a reminder that there’s still hope. Luckily, in The Man Who Planted Trees at the Scottish Storytelling Centre, two storytellers and their puppets are here to give us just that.

Leaf by Niggle – junior review
★★★★★ Amazing:
Niggle is a painter. He is an unsuccessful painter. He is an unsuccessful painter because he has his mind set on only one thing – a picture of a tree.
