Sent to fetch his father’s pipe tobacco, the Little Boy lingers before the carved hunchbacked figure outside the shop door and is soon drawn into a world where clocks, cigar-store figures and old sailors come alive. With the Sly Old Codger, Toby, Lemuel Mizzen and Captain Higginson he sails for the Spanish Main in a sieve and meets cutlass-waving pirates.
