Eye of the Wolf

There is something about 'Eye of the Wolf' which is compelling. Daniel Pennac is described as a 'master story-teller'. I reflected on this as I read. There was something incredibly simple about how the boy's and the wolf's stories were told and this simplicity made me want to carry on reading. For me what made the story special was how Daniel Pennac connected the boy, the wolf and their stories together.

I was interested in James Hollis' comment that, "read aloud it is captivating..." Although I read this to myself, I can understand exactly what he means and perhaps having this read to you is the perfect way to access this beautiful story.
