About this listen

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of The Fork, the Witch and the Worm by Christopher Paolini.

A wanderer and a cursed child.
Spells and magic.
And dragons, of course.
Welcome back to the world of Alagaësia.
It's been a year since Eragon departed Alagaësia in search of the perfect home to train a new generation of Dragon Riders. Now he is struggling with an endless sea of tasks: constructing a vast dragonhold, wrangling with suppliers, guarding dragon eggs and dealing with belligerent Urgals and haughty elves. Then a vision from the Eldunarí, unexpected visitors and an exciting Urgal legend offer a much-needed distraction and a new perspective.
This volume features three original stories set in Alagaësia, interspersed with scenes from Eragon's own unfolding adventure. Included is an excerpt from the memoir of the unforgettable witch and fortune-teller Angela the herbalist, penned by Angela Paolini, the inspiration for the character, herself!
Relish the incomparable imagination of Christopher Paolini in this thrilling new collection of stories based in the world of the Inheritance Cycle.

This is really 3 linked stories, but they expand the world of Alagaesia nicely and further Eragon's story. Can't wait for the next installment!

Well written, expanding the world of Alagaesia

Really nice and thrilling stories. Can never get enough of the world of Eragon. Doyle’s narration is always inspiring.

As always perfect

The story and performance itself was as amazing as the inheritance cycle, but I can’t get over the fact that the dragon’s voices have changed, in particularly saphira’s. It has really annoyed me all through and I hope that in books to come their voices return to normal.
