About this listen

Michael Palin reads this classic adventure by W. E. Johns, featuring pilot-adventurer James ‘Biggles’ Bigglesworth

When Biggles receives a letter from an old wartime chum asking for help, he responds at once. With his comrades, Algy, Ginger and Flight Sergeant Smyth, our hero flies to Fort Beaver in Canada, where winter is closing in around the remote airfield. There he discovers that his buddy Wilks is being menaced by a sinister character called ‘Brindle’ McBain and his cronies.

Wilks has started a small airline business, but McBain wants to take over and he’ll stop at nothing to get Wilks out of the way. With the threats of sabotage, theft, and even murder in play, all their lives are now in danger.

Can Biggles save the day and defeat McBain? Or will they perish in the frozen north?

I read some Biggles books as a child but now loved to be able to hear one of the exciting tales as a audio book. Very well presented .

Please release more as I would purchase every one.

Super book which I hope is the start of the Audible series of Biggles

A totally understated British romp. Fantastic! There is nothing quite like the understatement of danger found in this book.

Biggles saves the day with his band of friends.

Enjoyed the book a lot. Although I'm sure I read this in my youth I did not remember it. I enjoyed Michael Palins delivery hugely. The book was quite short leaving me wondering if it had been abridged perhaps. There was lots of action and adventure and it had a wonderfully old fashioned feel to it. It brought back Happy memories of reading under the covers after lights out.

A good biggles adventure
