The Ticking Teacup
A children's picture book concept showcasing an automata adventure
Twins Ivy and Ivor explore a mysterious creaky pier. Automata in glass boxes silently watch while Ivy turns their wooden handles, making them move jerkily.
Suddenly a large mechanical hand springs out from under the pier. The automata have woken up! Floating in the sea, concealed under the old pier, the twins explore the secret world of the forgotten automata.
But breathers do not belong in the teacup of tick-tocking clockwork automata...
