Yendor: Audiobook on CD
DESCRIPTION
Longing to be an adventurer like his father, Yendor sets off into the wild country - alone! Little does the small boy with BIG dreams know, that his chosen path is a perilous one! Waiting around every corner is a fantastical beast - a Grumposaur, a Killwing and the nastiest of them all, the Marauding Scrawnies! Will his skill and wit be enough to get him home again?
Yendor, the audiobook on CD, is the perfect complement to the recently published children's book Yendor: The Journey of a Junior Adventurer.

A captivating tale unfolds around a young man named Yendor, who blurs the line between dreaming of adventure and actually living it. His name, echoing the sound of 'monster,' is fitting as he encounters many during his quests—serpents, poisoned grabstings, a benevolent giant, and even a golden castle—across the mountains and beyond forests. The story is very well narrated by Sarah Matthews and enlightened by Oliver Wakeman excellent soundtrack. The CD has 4 tracks, 1) the full story and music, 2) the narration only,3) the music only and 4) some words from Yendor's creator himself Mr. Matthews. My grandaughter is still too young to understand this story in english but she will one day! Yendor story initially started in 1973 with some drawings ... and was finalized in 2020 with this superb CD. So all good things ends up being accomplished ;o).
Great story…. Not just for children, works for those of us who never really grew up!
A nice little story (as you'd expect) with a great soundtrack (as you'd expect, too) and a "must" for any fan of Sarah's and Rodney's.
Absolutely great.
What a amazing story and the music with it is fantastic
