This is a delightful musical which tells of the rise and fall of the Albert William Horace Shipperbottom Company in Little Kearsley, Lancashire, England, who were one of the most respected makers of hand - carved, wooden rocking horses in the world. Annie and Charlie were the Company's oldest and dearest rockers and were always retained as show horses. Annie and Charlie are very close and tell such tales, some amusing, some poignant, some just memories.
