OAKLAWN, Ill., Sept. 15, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The influences of the most wonderful childhood stories of all time come together into one beautiful tale about a charming young girl and her various adventures as M. Tricia Lee launches through Xlibris the first book of her three-part series, A Twiddlebirds Christmas.
Book One The Head Bubble's Visit on Christmas Eve follows Miss Megan Ann Twiddlebirds, who listens to the housekeeper, Mrs. Goggles', once-upon-a-time Christmas tale about the Land of Dough and about Gwen, a friend who saves her friends on Christmas. Mrs. Goggles conjures a snow-white world of elves and Mr. Santa Claus, who lives with his wife, and the shady characters who prowl the outbounds of the Land.
Three thugs will dare to pull a fast one on the people of Dough, but Gwen will do anything for her friends. In intermittent song and lyrical conversation the inevitable conflict builds up, but happily the spirit of Christmas prevails. But the real adventure begins where Mrs. Goggles' tale ends, right when Megan Ann prepares to take her bath.
Inspired by classic children's stories and musicals like The Wizard of Oz, Alice in Wonderland, Mother Goose, The Sound of Music, The Music Man and numerous Christmas songs, Lee's A Twiddlebirds Christmas is a wonderful amalgamation of such influences that portrays its own creative and literary uniqueness stellar enough to become one of the classics itself.
