Items related to The Old Country
From the winner of the 2004 Caldecott Medal comes a memorable new work, a novel of singular insight and imagination that transports readers to the Old Country, where "all the fairy tales come from, where there was magic -- and there was war." There, Gisella stares a moment too long into the eyes of a fox, and she and the fox exchange shapes. Gisella's quest to get her girl-body back takes her on a journey across a war-ravaged country that has lost its shape. She encounters magic, bloodshed, and questions of power and justice -- until finally, looking into the eyes of the fox once more, she faces a strange and startling choice about her own nature. Part adventure story and part fable; exciting, beautifully told, rich in humor and wisdom, The Old Country is the work of an artist and storyteller at the height of his powers.

About the Author:
Mordicai Gerstein received the 2004 Caldecott Medal for The Man Who Walked Between the Towers. He lives in Northhampton, Massachusetts.
From AudioFile:
Never make an assumption about a Mordicai Gerstein story! Gerstein weaves together the ancient and modern as wars are fought, shapes are shifted, animals and people talk--all at that illusive juncture where worlds and stories converge. Tovah Feldshuh lives the story. Her characterizations will amaze--from the determined heroine, Gisella, her great aunt, and their animated relatives to the conniving fox and myriad creatures who impact Gisella's every move. Feldshuh's quick pacing underscores the urgency. Listeners will be charmed. A.R. © AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
