Description
The year is 2031 and Walt Disney, suspended in cryogenic
suspension since 1966, has been brought back to life by Dr Corey, a
scientist researching brain function for the purpose of suspending life for
space travel. But Dr Corey gets more than he bargained for when Walt
awakens. Opinionated, arrogant and still in love with films, Walt is overawed
when he discovers what has happened to the world in the intervening years:
films are a whole-body experience, all human organs except the brain are
replaceable and research is underway to preserve life so mankind can reach the
outer edges of the universe. But what shocks Walt most is the news that
the world is being affected by catastrophic climate change...
Fantasia is a universal story
containing humour and pathos. It is particularly suitable as an educational
tool for children who are beginning to learn the science of climate change and
understand the concept of social responsibility. It was originally written by
Jane for her children, all big Disney fans, and first published in Jane's adult
short story collection, A Modern Life. It has now been released independently
so it can reach the audience for whom it was initially intended.
Advance Praise
"As author of the long-standing blog The Witty Ways of a Wayward Wife, Turley is no stranger to combining humour and pathos in her writing, and The Changing Room works the same irresistible magic." Yorkshire Evening Post
"Having been a follower
of Jane's Blog for a number of years I have learnt not to drink whilst reading
her blogs having once sprayed tea over my laptop with laughter." Amazon
reviewer
"Jane Turley’s natural
wit and flair for sharp dialogue make this an absolute pleasure to read. She reminds
me of Sue Townsend, with a good dose of Rachel Joyce: all three have a gift for
seeing the humour and pathos of everyday life." Goodreads reviewer
