Once there was a boy named Charlie who roamed the streets of London, hungry for life (and maybe a bit of bread). He lived in one small room with his actress mum and his older brother, Sydney.
They didn't have much to smile about, but Charlie was born to perform - whether dancing for pennies in front of the pub, reciting a funny poem for his class, or acting in theater troupes around town. When Charlie told his mum about a wobbly old man in baggy clothes with turned- out feet and a crooked cane. his mother found it sad, but young Charlie came to see that sometimes, Funny and Sad went hand in hand.
Young examine the early life of one of the world's most iconic entertainers, Charlie Chaplin. and the origins of his most beloved creation, the Little Tramp.
