The Story Peddler is a busker that creates visual stories. As she tells the story, a physical symbol of the  story is created that is sold to the highest bidder. The only problem is that she is only allowed to tell stories that are sanctioned by the crown, think propaganda. It's all good until this orphaned girl starts telling stories of truth that she can't seem to control. She ends up on the run and then the fun really begins.
This is a beautiful story that inspires the imagination and brings hope of freedom from tyranny. It's a good reminder that God has parts for us to play, even for the least of these.
