Fantasy novel about the mystical adventures of a lonely English boy, Jimbo. It’s really quite beautiful and can be enjoyed by both older kids and adults, though parts may be too scary for younger children (who'd probably be bored anyway). (Summary by Adrian Praetzellis) (5 hr 52 min)

great reader - intriguing odd fairytale

the reader did excellent, of course! this reader always does a fantastic job. the audio for two chapters is messed up when you listen through stereo headphones, but i just pulled one headphone out for those chapters and it was good. this story is a mix of Tim Burton & M Night Shyamalan. either one of them could turn this book into a creepy odd cool movie, not a box office hit - but notable success. it starts off boring ho-hum then after the accident get fantastical. twisty turny and you can almost feel a mist come over clouding things making them a little frightful and confusing. a predictable ending, but the journey to the end is interesting!
Tremendously Creepy, yet Sweet

This is not your average Fantasy, but rather a cautionary tale of Love and sacrifice. Best listened to by older children, as it tends to border on the creepy super natural. Very Tim Burton-ish.

Eerie and otherworldy. The story dragged just a bit in some places but the excellent narration sweeps you along in spite of this.
excellent

I only discovered this author about 2 years ago, and really enjoy his works, but this tale is not just " on the outside of the box", but it is of the box factory. thank you Librivox, and thank you to Reader Adrian P. (I apologize for not attempting your entire surname -my brain is a bit fatigued).
