Linnet is a storyteller, and when he knows he is dying he makes a very bloodthirsty request - that his head be cut off, wrapped in a cloth, and given to his children. The children set off on the long walk to their grandmother's house holding the head between them. But they have no money and the people they meet along the way aren't always very helpful. Until, that is, the Head opens its eyes and begins to tell its stories . . .
