fantastic audiobook of magical classic - By: A. Craig, 01 Jul 2006
Hurrah for Craftsman, who are doing some of the best fantasy fiction around - they also have Ursula le Guin's masterpiece A Wizard of Earthtsea & Catherine Fisher's Snow Walker Son on audio. This is for younger children of 8+ & is the story of how lonely orphaned Kay discovers his governess is a witch, bent on unearthing a lost treasure. With the help of a cat, a fox & several toys Kay rides on a broomstick, becomes invisible, joins King Arthur & travels into the past to find out what reallly happened. Masefield was a Poet Laureate & writes like a dream, but this is also a hugely entertaining & influential novel (you can find out where the living chessmen in Harry Potter come from, for instance) that children still love. The reading is superb, as is the music.
