Summary: Wonderful story! Wonderful reading!
Review: Every doglover will be swept away by this captivating audiobook of John Muir's adventure with STICKEEN. I had never known the story before I listened to the tape, and I was completely captivated by the bravery and heart of STICKEEN - and by the voice of Lee Salisbury. John Muir's words capture the innate goodness of EVERY dog - and somehow explains why we can't help but love them so!! I bought 5 copies to send to my dog loving friends, and I'm sure I'll be buying more! This is a story you'll want to share with everyone who loves animals.

Summary: Great entertainment when you're driving.
Review: Our family loves to travel by car. In a huge state like Alaska, there's plenty to see, but not much to listen to on the radio, as stations are few and far between. One of the best things we listened to on our trip was "Stickeen," the remarkable dog story by John Muir. We loved Lee Salisbury's voice, and the beautiful music on the tape. This was an hour that flew by, and a few dollars well-spent. We're sending copies to all our relatives.

Summary: Muir's classic story is still a fascinating adventure!
Review: This adventure story, set on the top of an Alaskan glacier, is great reading just for the adventure. But in the telling, Muir shows us that our "horizontal brothers" are not merely intelligent, but share many of the emotions, fears, and joys that we have. Incidentally, this book is in the public domain, and a copy can be found on the Web at the following URL: http://www.sierraclub.org/history/muir/stickeen.html For more writings by John Muir, visit the WWW John Muir Exhibit: http://ice.ucdavis.edu/John_Muir/

Summary: Thoroughly enjoyed the story, beautifully produced tape.
Review: We have just listened to the audio book of "Stickeen" produced by Mara Purl and thoroughly enjoyed the story! I have already told my daughter and she is anxiously waiting for my next "care package," because I told her I would be sure to enclose the tape of "Stickeen" so she can enjoy it also. The story was wonderful and it was so beautifully produced with music and sound effects. I will look for some of Muir's other stories to enjoy, especially if Haven Books Audio does some more.
