This is a socially critical story for children, split up in highly amusing fairytales that are narrated by the three storytellers( "Great Aunt Repititus, Uncle Erraticus and Uncle Oblivious"), though each with their weakness: One constantly repeats herself, the other narrates the story completely wrong and the third completely forgets the plot. So it is not made easy for The Players who have to act out the stories with costumes etc. as they go along.
