Tomlinson and Algernon Blackwood.Selections from these authors' most gripping works are delivered by equally compelling narration producing an audiobook experience ideal for people who are fascinated by the beauty, insight and danger that awaits us all in the wild.

      Perils Of Going Wild In The Country

      Jun 30, 2021

      I’ve now spent 30 years transforming an acre of grade one agricultural land into a snake-infested wilderness featuring rank weeds. A visiting friend had the brilliant idea of setting up a motion-sensitive ‘trail’ camera within the acre, to see what w

      Aside from London and MacLean, European take on wild is misguided.
    • 3/5
      A mix of fiction and non fiction. My favorite was The Willows, an old favorite of mine. I particularly enjoyed this version as the narrator did a nice job voicing the Swede. The narrators were all good. They were able to bring an appropriate and distinctive voice to all the characters.

      As a book, the stories did not really fit well together imo. It felt more like a Tuesday night lineup on TV, especially as some of the tales seemed to start in the middle and go nowhere. Still, the book mentioned a follow up book. I will look for it. I am always on the hunt for new old classics.

      This book turned out to be a mixture of true and fictional accounts of survival by a variety of writers. I found it hard to switch gears (was someone's life really in peril, or was I reading a fictional account?) and the quality of the stories was less than transporting (I do love me my escapism, kids!)Some of these were excerpts from books: always difficult to truly plunge into, since you know you're missing 9/10ths of the work.I recently read another book, Adrenaline 2001, which was quite similar to this title, but only contained true accounts. I think my expectations for that title were definitely better formed and fulfilled.
