À propos de cet audio

 Wicked wolves and a grim governess threaten Bonnie and her cousin Sylvia when Bonnie's parents leave Willoughby Chase for a sea voyage. Left in the care of the cruel Miss Slighcarp, the girls can hardly believe what is happening to their once happy home. The servants are dismissed, the furniture is sold, and Bonnie and Sylvia are sent to a prison-like orphan school. It seems as if the endless hours of drudgery will never cease.

With the help of Simon the gooseboy and his flock, they escape. But how will they ever get Willoughby Chase free from the clutches of the evil Miss Slighcarp? Action et aventure Animaux Animaux et nature Fiction avec des animaux Grandir Littérature Renards et loups Vie de famille

Ce que les critiques en disent

"This year can boast one genuine small masterpiece. . . . The Wolves of Willoughby Chase . . . is almost a copybook lesson in those virtues that a classic children's book must possess: charm, a style of its own, the skill and authority to create a small world without writing down to small readers."
--Time Magazine

"It's a funny book. The language is so fantastically right."--School Library Journal

I enjoyed hearing the beginning excerpt from the reader about her mother and how this story came to be. It made me appreciate the story so much more.

I felt very drawn into it initially, but then it took so many extreme plot twists that it seemed to be too far removed from reality to be engaging. I think my perspective listening to this as a young girl was very different, and it was much more believable.

It feels like it has elements of "The Little Princess" and "Frozen" in it. It's a great story, and well written. I just felt like as an adult that I was swept into the world of white - snow and lurking wolves, and then suddenly I felt sceptical of a villainous lady so blatantly wicked, and everything being taken away from young Bonnie and then almost as quickly all restored.
