Expelled for cutting off a choirboy's pigtail, climbing up the scaffolding of a royal palace and being punished for breaking the rules! Franz Josef Haydn's mischievous childhood strikes a chord with every child. Ann reveals the truth behind the "Surprise" Symphony and tells how a naughty boy became the much-loved Papa Haydn - Father of the Symphony.
