About FLOTSAM AND JETSAM Tanya writes:
"Some years ago Storybox Theatre did a production of the Grimm's fairy story The Fisherman and his Wife. The two puppets were great characters who looked as though they'd been washed up as driftwood on the shore. Then one day I was walking with my children over the cliffs and we spotted a tiny beach. There was no way any human could ever visit it - there was no path down and it was just too small to bother going to in a boat. I started to wonder what - or who - might live there. Somehow the two things came together, and FLOTSAM AND JETSAM is the result.
They are gentle, somewhat whimsical stories, and Ruth Rivers' illustrations are perfect."
FLOTSAM & JETSAM
A tiny beach... an upturned boat.... a whisper of smoke....
When Flotsam and Jetsam are washed ashore, they soon become the best of friends. Every day brings a new adventure. Join them as they battle a spiteful seagull, build a new home and rescue a very shy hermit crab.
FLOTSAM & JETSAM & THE STORMY SURPRISE
A flash of lightning.... a roar of thunder... a piercing cry...
One night a great storm brings Flotsam and Jetsam a suprise - a huge heap of bedraggled feathers that turns out to be more trouble than they thought....

FLOTSAM & JETSAM & THE GROOOF
A wet nose.... a hairy head.....a wagging tail....
One night a monstrous beast appears on Flotsam & Jetsam's little beach. They are terrified until they discover that all it wants to do is play!
