Based on Voltaire’s “Candide”

The Best of All Possible Worlds is based on Voltaire’s satirical classic, Candide, and was developed into a modern-day fantasy by Brooke Harris Wolff and Rick Carter (two-time Academy Award winner for Production Design), and illustrated by Talia Spencer. It tells the story of Frank, a man who clings to magical thinking as a way of freeing himself from a world created by power-hungry bullies, even though his journey is filled with the suffering their tyranny has caused.
