Description

In this charming tale we meet Peregrine Tyss, a bright‑eyed youth whose imagination is as vivid as the glittering Christmas tree that dominates his family’s home. The opening scene swirls with the scent of marchpane and gingerbread, while the room overflows with dazzling gifts—from golden apples to leaden soldiers—each sparkling under a cascade of coloured lights. As Peregrine attempts to tame a lively rocking horse named Pontifer, his youthful exuberance and quick wit are put on full display, setting the tone for the whimsical adventures to follow.

Soon after his victorious handling of the spirited steed, Peregrine’s curiosity pulls him toward the many marvels surrounding the festive tableau. With each toy, picture‑book, and confection he explores, hints of mysterious journeys and unexpected companions begin to surface. Listeners can look forward to a series of capricious escapades that test his cleverness, draw him into strange encounters, and reveal the delightful, sometimes mischievous world of the Master Flea.
