'Timothy's Shoes '
A play by Barbara Sleigh from the story by Juliana Horatia Ewing
Production by Josephine Plummer
Long before Timothy saw the light of day his mother was very anxious about the responsibilities of having a family of children. When her first baby was born she poured her troubles into the sympathetic ear of her godmother, who, being a fairy godmother, could be expected to give her the best of advice. Not only that, she promised to come to the christening and bring the baby a present. It was a little pair of shoes — but they were no ordinary shoes, for they never wore out. Timothy's eight brothers all wore them in turn, and at length they became 'Timothy's Shoes.'
