AROUND THE GLOBE: The Kingdom of Masks
By Vernon Snell
Length2h 17m
About this audiobook
AROUND THE GLOBE: The Kingdom of Masks is a Poetic Cinema fable about truth, identity, influence, and the faces we wear to survive.
Across a strange and familiar world, a fox sells reflections, a parrot repeats a coming storm, chameleons change with the crowd, moths chase endless light, and entire kingdoms learn to prefer comfortable illusions. But as flowers begin growing through the cracks, questions spread—and the masks stop fitting.
Through Amara, Azure, Solomon the turtle, Lord Mirage, and an unforgettable cast of animals, insects, and humans, Vernon Snell creates a layered adventure for young listeners and adults alike.
What happens when the world finally sees itself without the mask?
A story about awareness, responsibility, courage, and remembering who you are when the reflection disappears.
