About this listen

The Wow O’ Rivven is a great example of George McDonald's wonderful storytelling. Rivven is Ruthven, Aberdeenshire, and The "Wow o Rivven" refers to the local church bell. The hero of the story is the old "fool", also known as "colonel" who is buried near to the old bell.

This is the first writing of George Macdonald I have read and I plan to read more. I know he is very well regarded in America but is less well appreciated in his home town of Huntly which is also my home.

A sad story well narrated
