Product Description
Can you imagine life without CDs and videos, without television and radio? Over 100 years ago, none of these things existed and entertainment had to be home made. But then a scientist called Thomas Edison invented a machine that would change the world. This is the fascinating story of a scientific genius, and how he recorded sound for the first time, told through the eyes of his young daughter, Dot.
