Children’s writer, Bob Hobblebob, author of the Mr. Quackers series, sets out to write a “classic fairytale, something that will live through the ages.” The characters turn against the author and start running amok and when Mr. Quackers shows up demanding the spotlight, Bob has more trouble on his hands than he can deal with.
