Story
Fiver could sense danger. Something terrible was going to happen to the warren; he felt sure of it. They had to leave immediately. So begins a long and perilous journey of survival for a small band of rabbits. As the rabbits skirt danger at every turn, we become acquainted with the band, its humorous characters, and its compelling culture, complete with its own folk history and mythos. Fiver’s vision finally leads them to Watership Down, an upland meadow. But here they face their most difficult challenges of all.

Story
In Storycraft, renowned author Walter Wangerin, Jr. explores the power of narrative and storytelling to impact message, messenger, and hearer. Through preaching and teaching, the gospel comes alive—is incarnated—in the words, actions, and stories we tell. Well-crafted stories shape the relationship between tellers and listeners, between preachers and people. And in the telling, trust is established, faith is formed, and lives change. Together, Wangerin's reflections create a theology of story that shows how the Word of God takes on flesh in practiced speech.

Story
A young, shy, sickly priest is assigned to his first parish, a sleepy village in Northern France. Though his faith is devout, he finds nothing but indifference and mockery. The children laugh at his teachings, his parishioners are consumed by boredom, rumours are spread about him and he is tormented by stomach pains. Even his attempts to clarify his thoughts in a diary fail to deliver him from worldly concerns. Yet somehow, despite his suffering, he tries to find love for his fellow humans and even a state of grace.

12-year-old Aidan Errolson, comes from a long line of adventurers. His grandparents were among the first settlers of Corenwald's Eastern Frontier. His father had been one of the kingdom's greatest warriors. Aidan, on the other hand, lives the quiet, comfortable life, of a nobleman's son. He never has any real adventures, and that, he believes, is the one great injustice of his otherwise happy life. All that will change the day he first hears the bark of the bog owl, and meets Dobro Turtlebane.

Set in the pre-Christian world of Glome on the outskirts of Greek civilization, it is a tale of two princesses: the beautiful Psyche, who is loved by the god of love himself, and Orual, Psyche's unattractive and embittered older sister, who loves Psyche with a destructive possessiveness. Her frustration and jealousy over Psyche's fate sets Orual on the troubled path of self-discovery. Lewis's last work of fiction, this is often considered his best by critics.

Story
George MacDonald, described by W.H. Auden as "one of the most remarkable writers of the 19th century", was valued in his own time as an original thinker and spiritual guide. Of all his writing, it is the fairy tales that have retained their fascination, and this collection includes all 11 stories. The fairy tales feature the stock characters of traditional tales—fairies both good and bad, and children undertaking precarious journeys. Often adopting paradox and nonsense as Lewis Carroll did, the stories invite adults to deploy the same open-mindedness as children.

Enjoyable
I found the story, and caracter development really well done. It was easy to listen to and I really felt immersed into the story. The only criticism that I have is that I found it hard to place the underlying meaning of the story. Its not supposed to be an allegory but with so many allegorical featuresnit was hard not to treat it as one.

I read this book to my children. I remember their little faces spellbound at the heroism of John W. and the animals innocent and harmless but had such courage to stand and face insurmountable evils. I feel fortunate to have found it and bonded. It was inspired and inspiring, I've not known anyone who has read it who did not love it. Well done Mr. Walter Wangarin Jr. and Thank You for your time and dedication to A wonderful story.

True to common observations re animal characteristics...
True to human characteristics as well. Bless you Walter Wangerin for Pertilote. Bless you for the improbable mix of animals—surely a mix for the peaceable kingdom—made believable to the longing human heart. Bless you for the grace of forgiveness.

Wow! I shouldn’t have waited 40 years!
I picked up this book FORTY YEARS AGO (!) But it never made it to the top of my read pile. I finally got around to listening to the audio version (narrated by Paul Michael) and wow! This might be my favorite read of the year.
It has (unfortunately and erroneously IMHO) the YA label attached to it but I think that’s only because of the setting.
It’s a tale, perhaps a fable, in which humans don’t exist, animals talk, roosters rule and an evil threatens the world. You can tell the heavy influence the author drew from medieval literature and the audio version brings an amazing sense of the tradition of oral storytelling. The story could have been told around a campfire 1000 years ago or next weekend. Excellent!

Wonderful story!
I received this book as a gift. I run an organic farm and depend on volunteers to help me keep it going. This Spring a young man came and gifted me this book as a Thank You for hosting him. It is an absolutely lovely book with a wonderful story that will mean different things to different readers. I love that it was written with animals as the characters, as were fables in days gone by. You can't go wrong with this selection.

Stirring
This book ended up being more profound that’s I anticipated when I first started it. Excellent story telling.

Best audiobook I’ve listened to.
The combination of the story, the narration and the afterword is among the best. Worth a listen.
