It's all been happening up at The Big Hoose! Local Laird Sir Coupar Angus and his talented wife Annie (the famous singer) have an announcement - they're the proud parents of a beautiful baby girl, Aurora (born on the night the Northern Lights danced across the sky). Everyone is delighted and excited... well, almost everyone. Annie's banished sister Malania The Mirthless (a dabbler in the Dark Arts) is furious at the news, and curses her sister's family from afar.
A year later at The Wee Hoose, Dame Livvie McSkivvie is busy preparing for Aurora's 1st birthday party with her dutiful son Murray, a child prodigy chef (pies a speciality!), but on arrival at The Big Hoose, they are met with some tragic news - Aurora's mum has mysteriously disappeared! Malania has (not so mysteriously) appeared, offering to marry Sir Coupar and bring up Aurora as her own daughter - an offer that is flatly refused! Malania is raging, and curses Aurora, warning them that should she prick her finger on a spinning wheel (how random is that?!) before she turns 21, she will spend the rest of her life in a Deep Sleep, and her life will amount to nothing..... BOO!!!
Livvie McSkivvie is beside herself with fear and anxiety and makes haste to The Medium Hoose to seek advice from local psychic Claire Voyant (obviously), who tells her she must shelter Aurora at The Wee Hoose, disguise her identity til she's 21, and the curse will be broken.
And so it comes to pass that Aurora becomes Rory, Murray's wee brother and best pal, and a life of fun and adventure unfolds (and lots of music in "Rory's" case), at least until the eve of Aurora's 21st birthday...
Who's all coming to the party?
Who are all these cute wee woodland creatures who have just turned up at The Big Hoose?
Will Aurora make it to 21, and will she be releasing her first album if she does?
And WHO gifted her a brand new, shiny turntable and speakers for her birthday?
It's time to spin this tale, so spread the news,
As we all well know, if you snooze, you lose!!
