The Book of the Dun Cow is by Walter Wangerin, Jr. A classic allegorical fantasy/fable, the first in a series of books about the mythical Dun Cow. This is the story of Chauntecleer the Rooster who finds himself in the unenviable position of leading his animal friends against the ultimate evil - Wyrm and his general, the equally evil Cockatrice. This story reminds one of the Christian themes seen in Lewis's Narnia series, although Medieval cosmology plays a large part in the tale. This is a Reader's Corner Highly Recommended Read.
Ratings: 9th grade - 10 out of 10.
