\nP.S. Gifford – The Curious Accounts of the Imaginary Friend<\/em>
\nFrom the book: “Who am I? Well, I am the Imaginary Friend. You know, the one you conjure up when you’re consumed with loneliness, greed or visions of imminent doom. I have listened to thousands of stories and it would be a shame if they just stayed with me, never to be heard again. I have chosen to share only the ones I found particularly . . . curious.” Don’t miss this chance to meet author and poet P.S. Gifford and . . . his Imaginary Friend!
