Beautifully narrated, these mythical stories become magical. The listener can visualize living in early Scotland with beliefs in nature's power.

The Saxons Live!

Revisado: 06-12-22

You will smell, taste, and feel life in the period of SW England of the 9th century, holding the very last of the 4 English kingdoms not conquered by the powerful and savage Danish Vikings. Except for the bravery, loyalty, honor, and strategies of the warriors of the time, there would be no England today. See the striking Bamburg Castle along the sea to see the hard fought, blood soaked lands of this book's Bebbanburg. The land is alive with the spirits of these unknown gallant men. Do you feel them?

Delightful and compassionate

Revisado: 10-25-21

The narrator's voice and accent made me feel as though I was walking along the streets of old Scotland or Ireland. From fowl, felines, bovines, canines, equine, to the elderly humans, the stories showed so much compassion and gentleness. What a treasure of a book.

Empowering

Revisado: 08-12-21

it's the belief that this is truly possible that is the obstacle to fulfillment. There's been centuries of generations convincing us we're limited.

Life and living lessons

Revisado: 08-08-21

Why are we here? Is there a reason for life on this planet? Our Western way of living has separated us from meaning, from spirit - not necessarily religion - but spirit. This is a contemplative listen/read that will open inner dialog.

for those of us who have memories...

Revisado: 03-25-16

The narrator keeps the listener engaged with the emotions conveyed throughout the story. The story combines actual locations with the fictional narrative which is complex and believable while unpredictable, which keeps the listener wanting to know what happens next! Reference to the voluminous work on reincarnation by Dr. Ian Stevenson, the book provides a narrative to the wonder of its possibility, if not actuality.

If you have ever loved or been loved by a dog...

Revisado: 10-06-15

What did you love best about Lad, a Dog?

The adventures written of here are absolutely believable regarding any dog's behavior and the love and devotion of man and dog to one another is evident on every page. The collie nature is described in its most reverent and honest manner. Proper behavior, human and dog, and pride in ones conduct, human and dog, are so refreshing in this book. Best yet? It's all true. You can visit the New Jersey property of the Master (Bert Terhune) and pay respects to Lad and the many other valiant dogs of The Place.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The Master. He was fair, honest, kind, firm, right, and bigger than life.

Which scene was your favorite?

The most trying was the final fight scene. It was horrendous to read and for anyone who has experienced a fight to the death - all too real.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

As a child, I loved the feel of the book but even as an adult, the loyalty, kindness, and honesty - so rare in our lives today - brings a tear to my heart.

Any additional comments?

If you have ever loved a dog or have ever been loved by a dog, this book, and all the Terhune stories, will bring a warmth, a sense of adventure, of honesty, of time, of beauty, of devotion to your heart. If you've ever been owned a collie, well, this book is more dear than one can imagine.
