Handa’s Hen author Eileen Browne, will be signing copies of her book at the Unicorn theatre on 28 November.

The signing will take place after the 11:45 performance of Handa’s Hen, the stage adaptation of Browne’s book by Little Angel.

Browne has been writing books for children for more than three decades and her work includes Through My Window, No Problem and the popular Handa adventures, including Handa’s Hen and Handa’s Surprise, both of which have been adapted for the stage by puppet theatre company Little Angel.

Handa’s Hen, which plays at the Unicorn theatre from 15 November to 13 December, uses 55 specially made puppets to bring to life the story of Handa and her friend Akeyo, who go looking for Grandma’s hen Mondi. Along the way they find fluttery butterflies, stripy mice and little lizards, but where is Mondi?

Little Angel’s production is suitable for ages two to five.
