Having a copy of 'The Night before Christmas' ready for its annual outing, Annie Bee realised that the story she was about to be read bore little relevance to the audience of today, and so a parody of the traditional story came into being. Alongside is the story of a chicken and her race for freedom. Living in a rural area, the author often sees a stray chicken ferreting away outside the garden where she belongs and has wondered whether this was anything to do with a 'break for freedom'. And so, the story of a chicken who puts all her faith in a wing and a prayer to realise her dream of blissful 'cont-HEN-tment'. Included in all this is the author's signature icon which is that of a bee. Within each page there is a bee to find, amongst the myriad of details within each illustration, and to hopefully keep everyone entertained.
