Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

"Bruce Kimmel, the Jean Shepherd of our time, gifts us anew with Iris, the dazzling adventures of an endearing girl. Virtually abandoned by an overwhelmed mother and absentee father, seven-year-old Iris is taken under the protective wing of Patterson, a literally heaven-sent guardian who gives her (and us) a guided tour around the evocative Candyland that was Hollywood (and Broadway) of the late 1950s. For some, it will be a journey to lost worlds brought vividly back to life; for others, a magical memory lane leading to a cherished realm that never looked better than now. Step aside Mary Poppins, make way Chitty Bang Bang, clear the deck Coraline: time to travel back in time, with your newest friends, in dazzling 3D across the panoramic pages of this wondrous, witty, warm-hearted journey to that place we call ... 'Kimmeland.'" - Rupert Holmes, New York Times best-selling author. Iris is a magical ride into the wonders of late-1950s Los Angeles, told through the eyes of a precocious seven-year-old girl and her guardian angel, a droll Brit named Patterson. Bruce Kimmel writes with great affection, humor, and unexpected emotion-I ate it up faster than apple pie à la mode at Van de Kamp's. - Douglas J. Cohen, Drama Desk-nominated writer of Children's Letters to God and author of How to Survive a Killer Musical: Agony and Ecstasy on the Road to Broadway
