Domnall and the Borrowed Child

“Tastes like fairy wine; delightful and refreshing.” —Ishbelle Bee, author of The Singular and Extraordinary Tale of Mirror & Goliath

“This charming audiobook assumes listeners have a working knowledge of the myths surrounding fairies. This is a quick tale, requiring close attention, but narrator Tim Gerard Reynolds’ voice is steady, warm, and welcoming, so listeners never feel lost. There is urgency in the story itself—a fairy child must get human mother’s milk or die—and the audiobook conveys this without ever rushing. The characters not only have delightful Scottish burrs, but Reynolds also gives them terrific personalities. Domnall is an older fairy a bit weary with life who simultaneously projects hopefulness that has not gone away. Young fairy scout Micol is eager and energetic and exasperated. Human characters can sound faintly sinister, a quality that makes sense in this fairy tale told from a fairy’s perspective.” —AudioFile
