About this listen

 Chicago wizard-for-hire Harry Dresden is used to mysterious clients with long hair and legs up to here. But when it turns out the long hair covers every square inch of his latest client's body, and the legs contribute to a nine-foot height, even the redoubtable detective realizes he's treading new ground. Strength of a River in His Shoulders is one of the legendary forest people, a Bigfoot, and he has a problem that only Harry can solve. His son Irwin is a scion, the child of a supernatural creature and a human. He's a good kid, but the extraordinary strength of his magical aura has a way of attracting trouble.

In the three novellas that make up ''Working For Bigfoot,'' collected together for the first time here, readers encounter Dresden at different points in his storied career, and in Irwin's life. As a middle-schooler, in ''B is For Bigfoot,'' Irwin attracts the unwelcome attention of a pair of bullying brothers who are more than they seem, and when Harry steps in, it turns out they have a mystical guardian of their own. At a fancy private high school in ''I Was a Teenage Bigfoot,'' Harry is called in when Irwin grows ill for the first time, and it's not just a case of mono. Finally, Irwin is all grown up and has a grown-up's typical problems as a freshman in college in ''Bigfoot on Campus,'' or would have if typical included vampires.

New York Times bestseller Jim Butcher explores the responsibilities of fatherhood and the difficulties of growing up with the elements Dresden Files fans crave--detection, adventure, humor, and magic. Anthologies & Short Stories Fantasy Witty

Wizards, bigfoot, magic, mystery and good old fashioned Western style knuckle n gun fights. Another brilliant Harry Dresden case file wonderfully read, brought to life, by James Masters.

James Marsters is just perfect for Harry, a great narrator, setting the right pace and atmosphere. A real treat to listen to.

Three short stories that can be listened to at any point of your journey in the world of Harry Dresden.

Three great short stories from the Dresden world

The narration is acerbically cynical, and yet believably human and humorous. The short stories are amusingly anecdotal to the series, but developed and varied. Dresden is, as ever, compassionate, strangely courteous, and witty, while also being wise, irritating and wizardly too.

We loved it!

Jim Butcher and James Masters do it again. You'll get more out of this if you're a Dresden Files fan who has listened to the series, as I'm sure most people who are going to buy this are. There's nothing I didn't like about this collection and it's a treat that you usually don't get with shorts, to see the character progression as the years go by between each story. Masters brings the whole thing to life in a way few other narrators can and with the low price for those who buy 24 credits all at once like me, this is a steal because you'll want to relisten to it again and again over the years. Also the length makes it ideal for a quiet evening in or long return journey. If, on the other hand, you are in the one credit a month group and don't have the inclination/available listening time to change that, you might want to wait. So far most of the Dresden Files audios have come to the UK and while there is no audio date that i'm aware of, this collection has been confirmed as forming part of the next short story anthology for the series.
