Hearts, Keys, and Puppetry
By Neil Gaiman and the Twitterverse
Narrated by Katherine Kellgren

“Sam was brushing her hair when the girl in the mirror put down the
hairbrush, smiled, and said, "We don't love you anymore."

So began the Twitter Audio project, with a dazzling first line penned byNew York Times bestselling author Neil Gaiman. What followed was an epic tale of imaginary lands, magical objects, haunting melodies, plucky sidekicks, menacing villains and much more. From mystical blue roses to enchanted mirrors to pesky puppets, this classic fable was born from the collective creativity of more than one hundred contributors via the social network Twitter.com in a groundbreaking literary experiment. Together, virtual strangers crafted a rollicking story of a young girl’s journey with love, forgiveness, and acceptance.

 
About the Narrator

It's so good, I just began listening. I can't wait to finish it...again!

I'm in chapter 3-and I got goose bumps as I listen to Katherine Kellgren's voice, "you remember that night you were both playing in the swing when he fell down." It was so great to participate in this project but to listening to it as the voice takes us into another dimension is such an amazing experience I cannot even start describing. Thanks for delighting our ears, with an incredible story, so vividly and well narrated and beautiful cover design too I couldn't imagine a better image...well, simply FAN-TASTIC!
Cheers!
Ana
