The Ballad of St Helena

Hilary 2024

The Ballad of St Helena is a hilarious pastiche of small town living, with a time-travelling twist! On the South Atlantic island of St Helena, three kids, trying to escape from under their father’s thumb, accidently send themselves back in time and bump into the island’s most famous resident: exiled French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte! Hijinks ensue, and when the trio return home they find that by meddling in the past, things in the present aren’t quite as they left them…
