Written by British author Paul Cook FRSA (the author of the Pete the Bee stories), The Wappy Ding-Do Trilogy charts the unique entity's journey through the liquid silver array of the Dalbinae, the marshes of the Loupadapper, and the ocean of the Flounadget. The stories are suitable for listeners ages 11 years and older. The wappy ding-do kind of was, but, well, sort of wasn't either....

The wappy ding-do kind of was but, well, sort of wasn't either. Perhaps something more than a soul of mere essence, but somewhat less than a corporeal presence. The wappy ding-do was, in fact, a globule of glandular lesions and fibroid connectors, invisible to the human eye but nevertheless tangible in a unique spectral, fluid-like, temporal universe. There were none to succor this creature and no instinct had it upon which to draw save the energy which emanated from the deep infinite.
