About this listen
I am as brown as brown can be,
And my eyes as black as sloe;
I am as brisk as brisk can be,
And wild as forest doe.
(The Child Ballads, 295)
So begins a beautiful tale of love, loss and revenge. Following the seasons, A Pocketful of Crows balances youth and age, wisdom and passion, and draws on nature and folklore to weave a stunning modern mythology around a nameless wild girl.
Only love could draw her into the world of named, tamed things. And it seems only revenge will be powerful enough to let her escape.
This is a stunning and original modern fairy tale.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Lyrically narrated
An other worldly fairy tale. Very well narrated by Joanne Harris.
Well worth a read or listen.

Intense fairy tale. Totally transported.
I really enjoyed listening to this.
I was totally absorbed into the story line and found the intense emotions from the main character came through so clearly.
I could imagine this world, the characters as if I was living it.
This is not something I'd usually listen to but as I love this author, tried it, and I am so pleased for the escapism.

Lovely surprise
I picked this for a car journey but soon realised it needed more focus. Just finished and I will return to it I’m sure and read it again.
The final passage, I looked out and thought fondly of my hawthorns as the birds swept to and fro across the April field. It’s almost May I thought.

Beautifully unexpected outcome.
What a wonderful tale! All wrapped in starlight and crow feathers with a handful of herbs thrown in for good measure. Beautifully crafted and carefully unbound. Thank you Joanna Harris this was a perfect end to my year’s reading list.
