Song For A Summer Night is a tale in the tradition of Kenneth Grahame's 'The Wind In The Willows' and Lewis Carroll's 'Alice In Wonderland' with shadings of Thorne Smith's 'Lazy Bear Lane.' Twelve-year-old Peter Phye is granted the power to converse with animals and embarks upon a mission for the Queen Of The Night to bring back the songs of summer, which have mysteriously disappeared. The setting is a rural environment of shadowy woods, sunny meadows, leafy glades, a pond, a graveyard, and a field with an old abandoned car. There are villains and friends; human, animal, insect and supernatural; hip-hop blue jays, a gangster raccoon, and devious, drunken bugaboos. Song For A Summer Night will also appeal to adults who haven't forgotten the trials, fears, both real and imaginary, and the innocent pleasures of being a kid and living in the moment.
