In a London street in 1948 an unidentified girl was found costumed as a fairy-tale princess. Being profoundly unconscious, she was immediately admitted to a hospital where she is to remain until 2034; and the mystery of her arrival is further compounded by the enigma of her not appearing to age whilst being locked into her perpetual coma.
On one level The Conjurer's Half-Crown is a fantastical fairy-tale and yet it is also a ghost story and a mystery; its logic, that of knowing there is no single certainty and that Reality is not whatever you presume it to be.
This 'entertainment' is one of riddling games in which elements of Lewis Carroll - together with other kinds of imaginative and speculative fictions - are all compounded into a profundity of Nonsense which is distinctive and different.
