5.0 out of 5 stars Our favorite O'Callahan, June 28, 2000

This review is from: The Golden Drum (Cassette) (Audio Cassette)

This entrancing story about a strong young girl who overcomes all kinds of obstacles to prove that girl stuff can be very powerful was just the thing for my older daughter. My 10-year-old daughter is now searching high and low for the lost copy. Great story and very well told.

5.0 out of 5 stars Original and entrancing..., November 17, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Golden Drum (Cassette) (Audio Cassette)

I grew up on epic fantasy works, vividly picturing myself as the protagonists--the hero, the princess, the bard, all rolled up in one--and this story captivated and satisfied me. It held my attention after I was tired of overused plot twists and tired drama. It held my attention time and time again, through more car trips than I could count, and was in fact one of the most refreshing original fantasy story I had heard in a while. I love everything I've heard by O'Callahan, and this mythical story is by far my favorite.
