Synopsis
Stylish reissue of a multi-award-winning, dramatic tale of the Peasants' Revolt. The narrator of this unforgettable tale is an old hunting dog. Living with the lowly Rufus and Comfort and their children, she has all a dog could ask for - fire, bed and bone. But this is 1381 and unrest is spreading like plague among the peasants of southern England, who are tired of the hardship and injustice they suffer at the hands of oppressive landlords. Rebellion is in the air, stirred up by men like John Ball and Wat Tyler, and life for man - and dog - is about to change dramatically...

About the Author
Henrietta Branford grew up in the New Forest with, "gun dogs, blood sports and a selection of extremely good old books. My father taught me a great deal about animals from a shooting and fishing perspective. It was a wonderfully accurate and unsentimental way to learn." Among her many books are Dipper's Island, White Wolf and three stories about Dimanche Diller, the first of which, Dimanche Diller in Danger won the Smarties Book Prize. Fire, Bed and Bone won the Guardian Children's Fiction Award and a Smarties Book Prize Bronze Award, as well as being Highly Commended for the Carnegie Medal. Henrietta Branford died in April 1999.
From AudioFile
An old farm dog, heavy with pups, sees everything, knows everything, reports everything, in the terrifying days of unrest and rebellion as England moves inexorably toward the Peasants' Revolt of 1381. The rich, whispering urgency of Eve Karpf's voice is haunting, just right for the wisdom of one of Earth's four-legged creatures who observes all human suffering, folly and courageŠand reflects upon it. Rufus's voice is rough and wise, Comfort's gently sorrowful; both are subtle and effective, as are all the distinct human voices. Karpf's pacing is superb. Frequent vocal rushes lend gravity to the harshest events. From time to time, the pace slows in recollection of those few joyful incidents that make life worth living. A sad but satisfying history comes to life in the voice of man's best friend. T.B. An AUDIOFILE Earphones Award Winner. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
