Description

In a delightfully eccentric London flat, a curious narrator is drawn into the impossible by a dusty, forgotten picture that suddenly bursts into colour. As the canvas comes alive, a procession of odd characters—an upright fish in slippers, a wand‑bearing gentleman, and a tiny crowned figure—steps out into the room. They are led by the Wallypug, a self‑styled king from the mysterious realm of Why, a place that exists only for those who are especially good and can slip through the veil of ordinary maps.

The Wallypug arrives with his entourage for a grand Jubilee, announcing his presence with a flourish that leaves the narrator both astonished and intrigued. With the help of his professional adviser, the Doctor‑in‑Law, the tiny monarch begins to explore the bustling streets of London, promising a series of whimsical encounters that blur the line between imagination and reality. Listeners will be invited to follow this charming, surreal adventure as the Wallypug discovers what the city has to offer.
