Synopsis: Mini Greys spin on the nursery rhyme classic Hey diddle, diddle, the cat and the fiddle is a love story of sorts that starts when the dish ran away with the spoon. In the midst of the Great Depression, Dish and Spoon become rich and famous vaudeville stars until their taste for the high life puts them in debt to a gang of sharp and shady characters (depicted as evil knives). The cinematic presentation - with a touch of Bonnie and Clyde, a dash of - The Perils of Pauline - proves that crime doesnt pay and love conquers all. A visual treat with new details to discover again and again, here is absurd good fun for the whole family. From the Hardcover edition.
