Mr Friedman's Fireside Tales 2: More Adventures from Parallel Dimensions Once again, it's Christmas Eve at the orphanage and Mr Friedman has gathered his beloved children around the blazing log fire for his traditional annual story telling. The seven stories he tells are packed with adventure and magic: a dimension of talking trees, underwater battles between mermaids and ocean monsters, an angel sculpture which beats with a real heart and the mysterious tale of a village phantom are all brought to life by the talented old man. Each character faces their own quest, and as the children listen, they begin to recognise themselves in the tales and are transported once again on journeys of self-discovery to parallel dimensions.
