A family of music hall entertainers - successful on stage but troubled off it by conflict as the younger members strive to break away - find themselves caught up in a strike against London music hall owners. Their musical comedy act (complete with performing dog!) looks to be doomed. In the aftermath of the strike, a dramatic incident forces the family to rethink their future and consider fleeing London. Interference from a colourful but mischievous uncle is creating more stress. But there is hope; an eccentric showman is creating a strange and wonderful palace of entertainment in a Glasgow music hall…and he is looking for talent. Will a move to Scotland save the Pyle family, unite them, and bring them security after years of struggling? * A moving novel inspired by the "Music Hall Warriors" strike of 1907.
