Editorial Reviews

From AudioFile

In this strangely captivating Australian tale, the main character is half elf and half troll, and looks like a 4-year-old child. ("She was small," writes Carmody, "but sometimes small things could do what other creatures could not.") Humans are the other, and often the enemy in this tale--Little Fur must go on a brave and dangerous journey to save her beloved forest from being burned by them. Carmody is a fine reader of her own work. She invests her story--a kind of environmental fable--with a magical attention that makes readers listen carefully, holding their breath through the treacherous moments, and casting a spell that lasts to the story's end.

This review is from: Little Fur: The Legend of Little Fur, Library Edition (Audio CD)

Little Fur is a wonderfully narrated, unabridged audiobook story about a half-elf, half-troll named Little Fur, who is far older than she appears. Distressed about the tree-burning that city humans are doing to the patch of wilderness that is her park home, she sets out on a quest to protect what is most dear to her. With help from a shaggy Shetland pony, a crow, and an owl, she hopes to make a difference in hearts, minds, and lives. Written and read aloud by Australian author Isobelle Carmody, Little Fur is delightful and engaging listening for all ages and very highly recommended for family, school, and community library audiobook collections. 3 CDs, 2 hours 50 minutes.
