About this listen

Lone Annie sees dragons in your future.... She sees giants. She sees fire and water. She sees death.

Finn's life in the village of Wichant is hard. Only his drawings of the wild coastline, with its dragon-shaped clouds and headlands that look like giants, make him happy.

Then the strange housekeeper from a mysterious clifftop mansion sees his talent and buys him for a handful of gold - and then reveals to him seven extraordinary paintings. Finn thinks the paintings must be pure fantasy - such amazing scenes and creatures can't be real!

He's wrong. Soon he is going to slip through the veil between worlds and plunge into the wonders and perils of The Glimme.

Great story but terrible narration

Emily Rodda is an excellent story teller and this is no exception. The story is intriguing and exciting but I couldn’t enjoy it due to the simply awful narration which constantly varies between too quiet and then abruptly loud. The narrator makes the characters all seem stupid and cranky. Terrible rendition of a fantastic story.
