About this title

Book Description:

A wonderful read-aloud book, adventurous and very funny, with much of the magic as well as the humor of the fantastic.

David knew that one should be prepared for anything when one climbs a mountain, but he never dreamed what he would find that June morning on the mountain ledge. There stood an enormous bird, with a head like an eagle, a neck like a swan and a scarlet crest. The most astonishing thing was that the bird had an open book on the ground and was reading from it!

From the Publisher:

David and the Phoenix is a multi-voiced recording featuring author Edward Ormandroyd himself as narrator and a talented group of actors who bring to life the personalities of each of the fantastical creatures in a way that will delight young and old alike. Twelve-year-old Galen Druke gives an achingly sweet performance as the little boy who wants his education with his friend the Phoenix to continue forever. Reminiscent of classic radio drama, this magical audiobook is even better because it contains the full, unabridged text.
