Buk

by Robin Bennett, Imogen Stubbs (Narrator)

Nancy's mother is having a baby and it is making her ill; Nancy's father is angry with her mother because they can't afford the baby; Nancy is angry with everyone.

Then she starts to see things ... things that should only happen in fairytales. Is Buk a sign she is going mad or is he there to save her?

Alice in Wonderland meets Oscar Wilde - a modern day fable.

Reviews

[Barbara · Rating 5 out of 5]

A truly delightful book that will enthrall listeners. Is Buk Nancy's way of escaping the problems in her family, or is she really, like Alice, discovering a Wonderland? Imogen Stubbs is pitch perfect as narrator. Thoroughly recommended.
