About this listen

A loving threesome, Billy and his two dogs ranged the dark hills and river bottoms of Cherokee country. Old Dan has the brawn, Little Ann has the brains, and Billy has the will to make them into the finest hunting team in the valley. Glory and victory were coming to them, but sadness waited too. Soon their skills will be put to the test as they brave the dangers of the wilds for the ultimate glory.

Since its publication over forty years ago, this heartwarming tale of a boy and his dogs has touched millions. A tale of adventure, special friendship and coming-of-age, Where the Red Fern Grows makes for delightful listening. This unabridged production, featuring a moving performance by Anthony Heald, brings this enduring classic to life and makes a powerful story even more unforgettable.

A true classic for children

This one for sure will hold a special place in my heart. It's gem of a book in the world of children's literature. Plus, it is wonderfully recited by the narrator. The writing is such that reader lives every moment with the book characters. In fact, I won't exaggerate, if I say that it doesn't take much time to fall in love with the characters, especially so for the dog lovers. The plot is an emotional journey, gorgeously portrayed by the way of words. It transports you to the country life in Ozarks in the era of 1930s, when the jungles stood tall and lush, and hunting down animals was a way of life to make ends meet. Makes a wonderful read for all 8 to 11 year olds, especially boys.

A performance to match this classic

I remember as a kid loving the book and movie but 30+ years later I couldn’t quite remember the whole story. I decided to listen to the story and wow - just as heart warming and breaking as before. The performance was absolutely perfect for this story. What a classic. Bravo.
