The Grotlyn

Synopsis

'I know when the Grotlyn's been, Slipping through your house unseen...
But what at first we think to be, The eye does blindly make us see!'

This animated verse delves into the begrimed corners of a Victorian city and discovers the infamy of its protagonist to be anything but malicious.
