A Lion in the Meadow and Other Stories brings to life Margaret Mahy’s timeless tales in a magical show that celebrates the wonderment of children’s imagination at Vodafone Events Centre from 25th May to 29th May in Manukau.
Weaving through Mahy’s much loved stories A Lion in the Meadow, Leaf Magic and The Witch in the Cherry Tree and her poems Magic and ‘The Reluctant Hero, or Footprints in the Snow, you will journey with a young boy on his spellbound adventures.
