About this listen

Bloomsbury presents The Wolf Wilder by Katherine Rundell, read by Tamsin Greig.

Go on an adventure with Katherine Rundell...
From the winner of the Costa Children's Book Prize

'A writer with an utterly distinctive voice and a wild imagination' – Philip Pullman
'A truly compelling read... totally original' – Jacqueline Wilson

Feodora and her mother live in the snowbound woods of Russia, in a house full of food and fireplaces. Ten minutes away, in a ruined chapel, lives a pack of wolves. Feodora’s mother is a wolf wilder, and Feo is a wolf wilder in training. A wolf wilder is the opposite of an animal tamer: it is a person who teaches tamed animals to fend for themselves, and to fight and to run, and to be wary of humans.

When the murderous hostility of the Russian Army threatens her very existence, Feo is left with no option but to go on the run. What follows is a story of revolution and adventure, about standing up for the things you love and fighting back. And, of course, wolves.

This is a grown up book for children, a fantastic, realistic story of bravery and resilience. It doesn't shy away from some difficult storyline, but is still a beautiful, wholesome story. Me (47) and my son (age 9) thoroughly enjoyed it. The Explorer was OK (perhaps I missed something deeper), but the Wolf Wilder was brilliant.
