On the Rim of the World

T0951662457
The end of a day like any other. An ordinary family turn out the lights and put the cares of the day to bed. On the rim of the world and at the edge of the night, they travel beyond the everyday to an extraordinary land of dreams. An evocative journey with music inspired by memories of childhood, sleep and the magical power of dreaming.

Music	Orlando Gough
Author	Jehane Markham
