SHILOH

Peter MacNichol's youthful voice and soft drawl are the perfect vehicle for this gentle story of a young boy's love for a mistreated dog. His narration captures its rural, Southern hill-country flavor and effectively expresses its individual characters--especially the hateful Jud Travers who owns the hunting dogs, including the recalcitrant Shiloh. Children will love this heartrending story, which holds nostalgic appeal for animal-loving adults as well. D.M.L. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: APR 93]
