The Bark of the Bog Owl

The Wilderking Trilogy, Book 1

By: Jonathan Rogers

Narrated by: Jonathan Rogers

12-year-old Aidan Errolson, comes from a long line of adventurers. His grandparents were among the first settlers of Corenwald's Eastern Frontier. His father had been one of the kingdom's greatest warriors. Aidan, on the other hand, lives the quiet, comfortable life, of a nobleman's son. He never has any real adventures, and that, he believes, is the one great injustice of his otherwise happy life.

All that will change the day he first hears the bark of the bog owl, and meets Dobro Turtlebane. Dobro is one of the feechiefolk, a tribe of half-civilized swamp dwellers who fight too much, laugh too loud, cry too easily, and smell just terrible. But another meeting on that remarkable day may change Aidan's life even more profoundly. Bayard the Truthspeaker arrives with a startling pronouncement: Aidan Errolson will grow to be the Wilderking, the long-prophesied wild man, who will come out of Corenwald's forests and swamps to lead the kingdom back to its former glory. There's just one question: Is Bayard the Truthspeaker a prophet or a madman? This initial installment in The Wilderking Trilogy is sure to capture the hearts of young and old, boys and girls alike.

Very Enjoyable

This book is narrated by its author- and hs is very easy to listen too. He hid an excellent job in both the writing and performance.
The story it’s self is written at a middle grade level so kids can enjoy it. However it also makes an easy - but interesting - read for adults.
A word of warning - once I started I devoured the entire 3 Book series and wished for more. The story continues in each book so be prepared to get them all; but I believe you’ll enjoy the ride.

A retelling of the story of King David, fictionalized with changes made to create a new story.

Jonathan Rogers is a wonderful writer and brings the swampy richness of Feechie folk and young boys to life in this David like tale! So so good to hear!!! So rousing an ending, too!!!

Fantastic

We got this for the kids on a road trip but my wife and I enjoyed it immensely. Very entertaining for kids and adults alike. Full of humour, poetry, wit and inspiration. The trilogy is an epic story. Brilliantly written and performed.
