THE COLT FROM SNOWY RIVER

This adventure from the author of the much-loved Silver Brumby books, modern classics in Australian children's literature, will find new appreciation with this reading. Listeners unfamiliar with the series may remember the popular Snowy River movies produced in the 1980s. Buzz, a thoroughbred bay colt, escapes his paddock to follow the spirited Brumby filly Yarrawa into the mountains, leaving his despairing owners to follow. Caroline Lee's subdued approach complements the story's poetic language, and her Australian accent lends strength and credibility to the performance. This story is perfect for a family road trip or for horse lovers wanting an adventure tale. M.H.N. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2009]
