Description:
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. In "The Water of the Wondrous Isles," Birdalone, stolen as a child and raised by a witch, escapes in a magical boat. She embarks on a journey through fantastical islands, encountering talking wolves, giants, and mermaids. Among them lies the "Isle of Increase Unsought," a land grappling with the burden of excessive production, mirroring societal issues Morris saw in his own time. Guided by the spirit Habundia, Birdalone seeks the mythical Water of the Wondrous Isles, rumored to grant wishes, all while searching for love and her true place in this magical world. Duration - 12h 45m. Author - William Morris. Narrator - Digital Voice Marcus G. Published Date - Monday, 20 January 2025. Copyright - © 2022 Falcon Press ©.
