About this listen
New York Times Best Seller!
Fans of dark fairy tales like The Hazel Wood and The Cruel Prince will relish this atmospheric and absorbing audiobook based on Guillermo del Toro’s critically acclaimed movie.
Oscar winning writer-director Guillermo del Toro and bestselling author Cornelia Funke have come together to transform del Toro’s hit movie Pan’s Labyrinth into an epic and dark fantasy novel for listeners of all ages, with enchanting short stories that flesh out the folklore of this fascinating world.
This spellbinding tale takes listeners to a sinister, magical, and war-torn world filled with richly drawn characters like trickster fauns, murderous soldiers, child-eating monsters, courageous rebels, and a long-lost princess hoping to be reunited with her family.
A brilliant collaboration between masterful storytellers that’s not to be missed.
“Perfectly unsettling and deeply felt, this reminded me of the best kind of fairytales wherein each chapter is a jewel that, when held up to the light, reframes how we see the world around us.” (Roshani Chokshi, New York Times best-selling author of The Star-Touched Queen and Aru Shah and the End of Time)
“A fearless and moving adaption of the film, and a gorgeously written, emotional, frightening parable about the courage of young women amid the brutality of war.” (Michael Grant, New York Times best-selling author of Gone)

I Really Need to see this Movie
This book is spectacular. If the movie is anything near as good, it is well-worth a couple of hours of my time. This novelization of a brilliant screenplay portrays a real-world scenario (life among the Resistance in Franco's fascist Spain).. but it also weaves in a fantasy story (a princess of the Faë unknowingly trapped in our dimension). The ambiguity (are these events really happening? or part of a little girl's realistic imagination? or both?) is intriguing. This is a captivating story.
Thom Rivera does what I would call a "passable" job reading the text. His voice is resonant, clear, and easy to listen to.. and he delivers excellent tone and cadence. He furthermore reads with a slight Catalàn accent that lends authenticity to the chosen mode of presentation - it's as though Rivera is reading a bedtime story. His pacing, however, is *terrible* (I had to speed playback to 1.25X to make up for a plodding reading rate).. and the repeated pronunciation of 'Mercedes' as "Maer-th-ed-ez" is technically correct, but gets grating after awhile.
Despite slightly subpar narration, this whimsical book rates 8 stars out of 10. If the visuals are faithful to the descriptions laid out by Guillermo del Toro and Cornelia Funke in this book, the movie must be marvellous.
[*Please Note: There are scenes of torture, sadistic violence, death, and gore in this story - don't buy it planning to listen to fairy tales with your kids - this isn't Hans-Christian Andersen (or even the Brothers Grimm)]
