What is a crankie?

A crankie is an ancient story telling device, consisting of a moving panoramic art scroll accompanied by music or a story. The scroll is cranked to move the story along, hence the name crankie. The crankie is an analog antidote to our fast-paced digital world. It enables intimate, slow, carefully crafted storytelling- and is utterly captivating.
