Once upon a time in a castle high on a hill lived an inventor whose greatest creation was named Edward.  Although Edward had an irresistible charm, he wasn't quite perfect.  The inventor's sudden death left him unfinished, with sharp shears of metal for hands.  Edward lived alone in the darkness until one day a kind Avon lady took him home to live with her family.  So began Edward's fantastical adventures in a pastel paradise known as Suburbia.
