This is a book listeners will not want to end. A marvelous, magical tale of wizards, witches, and a stolen princess brims over with fantastic creatures. Allan Corduner brings it all to life with charm and fun. Trumpets and violins take listeners in and out of each part and help create a feeling of epic grandeur, and Corduner ekes out every bit of humor and adventure with perfect timing and wonderfully realized characters. He evokes the mischievous, the cranky, the amazed, as well as gives the main players real emotions. Listeners will be laughing and scrambling to get to the next chapter. (c) AudioFile 2005
