(PUBHarperSanFrancisco)Winner of the American Book Award in 1980! "Good and evil were never seen more distinctly nor pitted more ferociously than in this animal fable, reverberating with the righteousness of the Bible or a medieval moral play. The animals are invested with humanness,"---Saturday Evening Post. 256 pages, softcover.
Walter Wangerin's profound fantasy concerns a time when the sun turned around the earth and the animals could speak, when Chauntecleer the Rooster ruled over a more or less peaceful kingdom. What the animals did not know was that they were the Keepers of Wyrm, monster of evil long imprisoned beneath the earth ... and Wyrm, sub terra, was breaking free.
Walter Wangerin Jr. is the National Book Award-winning author of The Book of the Dun Cow. His other books include The Book of God, Ragman and Other Cries of Faith, and Miz Lil and the Chronicles of Grace.

Reviewed by Terry Grant (chattanooga, Tennessee), November 02, 2009 This book is very well written and speaks to the Christian heart. It is very true in its images of us. We truly love these characters. This book and the sequel, Book of Sorrows are forever part of our life. The mention of the name, Feric brings our heart into our throat and tears to our eyes. Great literature! Write a review of The Book of the Dun Cow
