History[]
No matter how much his parents told Jack to shut up, he always kept on nattering away about whatever came into his head. However, when a mysterious ventriloquist named Mr. Twig-Tailor came to his house to put on a show for Jack’s little sister Rosie’s birthday, the man told Jack that he would tell him the secrets of his dummies if Jack came to his joke shop the following day.
Sure enough, the next morning Jack showed up at Mr. Twig-Tailor’s shop, but after continuing with his mindless chatter, the man swept him up into one of his boxes and turned Jack into one of his dummies!
As Rosie was so upset about her missing brother, in order to cheer her up, Lord de Trow bought a puppet from a shop window in Great Pudden that he thought bore a striking resemblance to his son, and so Jack made it back home after all!
