MARIGOLD AND THE DARK A Seadog Adventure

Author and narrator Annie O'Dowd knows the Sandburrow family inside out. As we meet them in this episode, the young seadog Marigold confronts her fear of the dark and her fear of a mysterious monster that likes nothing better than to roast tender young pups over the fire. Scary? Unsettling? Perhaps with another narrator, but O'Dowd's intimate and loving voice makes young listeners feel safe, no matter what peril Marigold and her brother, Left Shoe, might encounter. O'Dowd's pacing complements the rise and fall of the action. As Marigold, O'Dowd radiates pride in her accomplishments. Enjoy a listen to Australian storytelling.
