  • IMPOSSIBLE CREATURES by Katherine Rundell, read by Samuel West

    IMPOSSIBLE CREATURES by Katherine Rundell, read by Samuel West
    Oct 7 2024
    Host Jo Reed and AudioFile Magazine’s Robin Whitten discuss a magical children’s audiobook from author Katherine Rundell, and narrated by English actor Samuel West. If Christopher weren’t holding a baby griffin, he never would have come to believe his grandfather about the hidden archipelago where magical creatures live—or agreed when Mal, a girl who is looking for her griffin, asks him to go there and help her find out why they’re dying. West’s presentation shines as he provides voices appropriate for the magical world’s denizens, and increasing emphasis as the journey becomes more dangerous and its consequences more dire.
