Acerca de esta escucha

Walter Wangerin's profound fantasy concerns a time when the sun turned around the earth and the animals could speak, when Chauntecleer the Rooster ruled over a more or less peaceful kingdom. What the animals did not know was that they were the Keepers of Wyrm, monster of evil long imprisoned beneath the earth....and Wyrm was breaking free.©2003 Walter Wangerin (P)2009 christianaudio.com Animales Animales y Naturaleza Ciencia Ficción y Fantasía Fantasía Fantasía y Magia Ficción Ficción de Animales Literatura y Ficción

Enjoyable

I found the story, and caracter development really well done. It was easy to listen to and I really felt immersed into the story. The only criticism that I have is that I found it hard to place the underlying meaning of the story. Its not supposed to be an allegory but with so many allegorical featuresnit was hard not to treat it as one.

from Mike

I read this book to my children. I remember their little faces spellbound at the heroism of John W. and the animals innocent and harmless but had such courage to stand and face insurmountable evils. I feel fortunate to have found it and bonded. It was inspired and inspiring, I've not known anyone who has read it who did not love it. Well done Mr. Walter Wangarin Jr. and Thank You for your time and dedication to A wonderful story.

Beauriful

A special story, and it is good to now have the Afterword to help understand the author's work.

True to common observations re animal characteristics...

True to human characteristics as well. Bless you Walter Wangerin for Pertilote. Bless you for the improbable mix of animals—surely a mix for the peaceable kingdom—made believable to the longing human heart. Bless you for the grace of forgiveness.

Wow! I shouldn’t have waited 40 years!

I picked up this book FORTY YEARS AGO (!) But it never made it to the top of my read pile. I finally got around to listening to the audio version (narrated by Paul Michael) and wow! This might be my favorite read of the year.

It has (unfortunately and erroneously IMHO) the YA label attached to it but I think that’s only because of the setting.

It’s a tale, perhaps a fable, in which humans don’t exist, animals talk, roosters rule and an evil threatens the world. You can tell the heavy influence the author drew from medieval literature and the audio version brings an amazing sense of the tradition of oral storytelling. The story could have been told around a campfire 1000 years ago or next weekend. Excellent!

Wonderful story!

I received this book as a gift. I run an organic farm and depend on volunteers to help me keep it going. This Spring a young man came and gifted me this book as a Thank You for hosting him. It is an absolutely lovely book with a wonderful story that will mean different things to different readers. I love that it was written with animals as the characters, as were fables in days gone by. You can't go wrong with this selection.

Stirring

This book ended up being more profound that’s I anticipated when I first started it. Excellent story telling.

Best audiobook I’ve listened to.

The combination of the story, the narration and the afterword is among the best. Worth a listen.
