Patrick, the latest in a long line of Pochettos, tells stories to Sam (Samantha) who wants to be a clown. His stories are of past owners of the Pochetto coat with its mass of pockets, and in between the tellings another story of the present-day circus unfolds almost imperceptibly. Varied in pace and mood, good for readings aloud.
