VANCOUVER, Va., Sept. 19, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Readers fond of masks are about to get a special treat from author Frank Faruolo as Xlibris releases his new book The Crystal Masque.
The Crystal Masque is about books, masks and a reader's theater. Readers will find many masks prescribed in crystal and framed for familiar or strange faces at a neighborhood optical shop. While providing his services and even when not, the master directs diverse dialogue involving his or their personal conflicts, complications, and catastrophes. During most of the scenes, the walk-on apprentice, a schoolboy, stays silent but is watchful of what it takes to run a business. Later, his senior is dependent upon him because of a pending retirement after having experienced family trials, sports victories, patriot plaudits and business booms, and busts. Between its covers and curtains, their projects convey compassion for all ages, especially after a decision made by the boy's master.
