Mister Punch. `He threw the baby out of the window. Then he battered his wife to death. He killed a policeman who came to arrest him. He caused the hangman to be hanged in his place, he murdered a ghost, and outwitted the Devil himself. `He never died. `And Mister Punch still lives - to travel up and down the countryside, amusing and delighting both old and young.` In his grandfather`s failing seaside arcade, a young boy encounters a mysterious punch and judy man with a dark past, and a woman who makes her living playing a mermaid. As their lives intertwine and their stories unfold, the boy is forced to confront family secrets, strange puppets and a nightmarish world of violence and betrayal, in a fable of childhood innocence and adult pain.
