THE EYES OF THE AMARYLLIS

by Natalie Babbitt | Read by Alyssa Bresnahan

Children Ages 10+ • 3.25 hrs. • Unabridged • © 1977

A welcome new narrator reads with understated eloquence about a young girl's visit with her grandmother at the edge of an isolated beach. In this haunting story the main character is the sea itself . . . the sea that years before swallowed Gram's husband and his ship, the Amaryllis . . . the sea that almost destroys them all in a mysterious storm. Although little outward action takes place, the tension builds inexorably to a dramatic climax. Recommended for thoughtful and experienced readers. J.C. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN 94]
