Happy Endings Made to Order

A storybook workshop where tales are given their endings, in five rooms. Top left, a cook in an apron stirs a steaming cauldron in the Ending Experiment Kitchen, with jars of tears, laughter and surprise on the shelf and a talking goose on the chart. Next door, a man works an old iron press in the Final Chapter Printing Room while a man in a green coat checks a page. Downstairs on the left, a clerk at a curved desk talks with a knight in armour holding a scroll, with shelves of books behind. In the middle room a detective with a magnifying glass faces a witch at her cauldron and a small dragon, under rows of wanted posters. On the right, a pirate, a clerk and a princess plan a plot across a round table tangled with coloured ribbons. Wanted posters in one room and tangled ribbons in the next keep every plot thread easy to follow back to its place.
