Editorial reviews
John Keating's rich accent enlivens Jenny Nimmo's tale of magicians and myth, from young hero Gywn's wonder and eagerness to realize his destiny, to the quivering voice of his grandmother Nain's mysterious clues. Even the wild of the raw setting of Wales becomes a character itself in Keating's lilting recital, spinning magic into book one of this acclaimed fantasy trilogy, like the helpful snow spider Asianwen.
Listeners will be instantly transported to a faraway realm of good and evil, rooting for the boy hero and his noble cause of finding his vanished sister to heal his broken family.
Critic reviews
"Keating's reading of the tale is flawless....his mastery may well convince readers that this fictional world is real." (Publishers Weekly)
"From the opening music to the first note of narrator John Keating's beautifully accented voice, the listener is transported to the Welsh countryside... With narration like this, is is as if John Keating were himself the snow spider, spinning richness into Jenny Nimmo's tale." (AudioFile)

The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world. It had plenty of gold, a king with the finest moustache you could possibly imagine, and butchers, bakers, and cheesemongers whose exquisite foods made a person dance with delight when they ate them. Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north, which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.

I read the book myself before. it's nice to be able to just hear the book and not have to read it you can close your eyes and let the world come to life in your mind it's also faster when you're not struggling to read it yourself but instead listening to somebody else

Merely ok
The narrator has a pleasant voice, though the voices he uses for female characters get a little annoying, and it's plus to have someone else figure out how the Welsh names are supposed to sound! However, the mechanics behind the magic are disjointed and don't make sense and the story itself was a little flat. This story reminded me of Susan Cooper's Dark Is Rising series- but easier to follow- so if you liked those, you might like this.

Excellent
Worth the read. The ending is sad yes, but also hopeful. Gwen is young clueless magician who acts on instinct rather than knowledge most of the time. His anger gets him into plenty of trouble in this story but Gwen learns from his mistakes.
