Publisher's Summary

Hailed as “one of the finest Canadian novels ever written” by The Globe and Mail, W.O. Mitchell’s Who Has Seen the Wind is a beloved mainstay of Canadian literature. This new, abridged audio edition is read by the author himself.

Mitchell’s novel follows Brian O’Connal, a young boy growing up in Depression-era Saskatchewan. Curious and eager to explore the impossibly vast Canadian prairie, Brian guides the listener through the inner workings of his small, rural town and its quirky characters. As Brian grows up, navigating faith, loss, and his relationships with his grandmother and his friends, we see him evolve alongside the changing landscape of small-town Canadian life. Drawing on his own experiences growing up in rural Saskatchewan, Mitchell paints a vivid, nostalgic portrait of childhood in a long-lost era.

Canadian Classic

W. O. Mitchell narrates this Canadian classic with all the grace, humour and gravitas of a master storyteller. Even in its abridged form, the story and its language resonates, haunts and delights. I fell in love with Bryan from the start.

A Breathtaking tale…

As wide as the Prairies, as rich as her soil and as infathomable as the wind which blows across this landscape, so much said with so few but exquisitely crafted brushstrokes, leaving an indelible, universal stamp as unmistakable as a firebrand upon the soul of the reader, but as gentle as a birdcall or a cricket’s chirp.
