Wren and the Dragons

For parents

Wholesome adventures with the Bible underneath. The stories never preach. The guides give you the words when your child asks what it meant.

How the stories carry their meaning

Wren’s world is not ours, so nobody in it names God or opens a Bible. What they have is a big, floury Book of old sayings and older stories, a lantern that is always lit, and a father who runs to meet his daughter while she is still a long way off.

A child hears a story about dragons. You will hear Proverbs, the Psalms and the parables. Every book page has a guide that names the passages, sums each one up in plain words, and gives you questions to talk through at bedtime or in the car.

Each book is built around one thing a child is learning: to be brave, to tell the truth, to share. The villain in each book has the same fault as Wren, only fully grown, and each one is shown mercy.

What to expect

Ages

Written for about five to ten. Younger children enjoy them with a grown-up nearby.

Length

Around two hours a book, in 18 chapters of five to ten minutes. Most end on a cliffhanger.

Peril

Clockwork crows, snow wolves and thunderstorms. Nobody is hurt, and nothing is gory.

Family

A loving father, real consequences, and forgiveness that comes first. No romance.

Narration

The voices are computer-generated: an Irish narrator and a British cast. A person wrote, cast and checked every line.

Where to play

In your browser, as downloaded MP3s, as one audiobook file, or on a Yoto player.
