About this listen

 Mrs. Moses is a small woman with a big heart and enormous courage. The only survivor of a Cossack raid on her village, she takes with her a big cast-iron frying pan, so heavy that she can only sling it over her back. Yet this is no ordinary frying pan, it's The Family Frying Pan, blessed with a Russian soul. From this frying pan Mrs. Moses manages to feed the various refugees who are travelling with her across Russia to freedom. In return, each of the group must tell a story around the campfire at night, stories of compassion and bravery, of human frailty and, above all, of hope.©2013 Christine Courtenay; 2014 Bolinda Publishing Pty.

Through the colourful characters and excellent narration in 'The Family Frying Pan', Bryce Courtney and co beautifully illustrate that there is more to every human than meets the eye. Everyone has a story behind who they present themselves to be. I'd like to think that this is a lesson we can take into our daily living, and maybe it'll make us more compassionate towards people we so easily judge. Thank you Bryce.
