Working for Bigfoot

De: Jim Butcher

Narrado por: James Marsters

Chicago wizard-for-hire Harry Dresden is used to mysterious clients with long hair and legs up to here. But when it turns out the long hair covers every square inch of his latest client's body, and the legs contribute to a nine-foot height, even the redoubtable detective realizes he's treading new ground. Strength of a River in His Shoulders is one of the legendary forest people, a Bigfoot, and he has a problem that only Harry can solve. His son Irwin is a scion, the child of a supernatural creature and a human. He's a good kid, but the extraordinary strength of his magical aura has a way of attracting trouble.

In the three novellas that make up ''Working For Bigfoot,'' collected together for the first time here, readers encounter Dresden at different points in his storied career, and in Irwin's life. As a middle-schooler, in ''B is For Bigfoot,'' Irwin attracts the unwelcome attention of a pair of bullying brothers who are more than they seem, and when Harry steps in, it turns out they have a mystical guardian of their own. At a fancy private high school in ''I Was a Teenage Bigfoot,'' Harry is called in when Irwin grows ill for the first time, and it's not just a case of mono. Finally, Irwin is all grown up and has a grown-up's typical problems as a freshman in college in ''Bigfoot on Campus,'' or would have if typical included vampires.

New York Times bestseller Jim Butcher explores the responsibilities of fatherhood and the difficulties of growing up with the elements Dresden Files fans crave--detection, adventure, humor, and magic.

Wizard tales for the Modern Age

Great themes, well thought out character names along with action and humor. I truly love this series.

Always makes me smile

I love this! River shoulders shows up in a later Dresden book and I've always wondered what their history was.

Great stories - Dresden at his best

This is a great collection of related short stories. Bigfoot is a great client for Harry Dresden. Don't usually like short stories but these are great. Must read

Good

I enjoyed these 3 stories, well read as always. My only issue is they are too short, I want more!

Very good story.

Amazingly entertaining. James performance is great and very consistent with all the other books in the Dresden series. Can't wait for the next installment.
