About the Book

Ivan, youngest son of the powerful, greedy Tsar Demyan, is resigned to a life of misery and humiliation at the hands of his brothers, brutal Yuri and sly Igor. And to add to his torment, Yuri has been promised in marriage to the girl Ivan has loved all his life - the bold and beautiful Princess Tamara, daughter of a neighbouring king. Then one day, Ivan sees the legendary Firebird in his father's garden. The tsar, obsessed with the beautiful creature, orders his sons out in a quest to capture it and bring it back to the palace. Determined to find the bird before his brothers do, Ivan embarks on a thrilling journey of reckless endeavour and strange magic.

About the Author :
Born in Jakarta, Indonesia, of French parents, Sophie Masson came to Australia at the age of five. She spent her childhood commuting between France and Australia. Sophie has had more than forty novels published in Australia, for adults, young adults and children. Her work has also been published in the UK, US and Germany. Sophie Masson is married, has three children and lives in northern New South Wales. Richard Aspel is a talented narrator of children's and adult audiobooks. He trained and worked in London, before returning to Australia where he has worked extensively in television, theatre and radio. His television credits include Neighbours and Carson's Law, and he provided various voices for The Silver Brumby animated series. Richard was nominated for the prestigious Audie Award (US) for his narration of The Mark of the Angel by Nancy Huston.

Review :
“Masson writes with elegance and intelligence.” “Reading one of Sophie Masson's books is like standing on top of a lonely mountain at midnight, under a star-filled sky." "Using all the components of a fairy tale, The Firebird manages to capture the imagination and leads the listener into a finely woven quest of heroes, damsels (though not in distress), evildoers, and clever magical creatures. Richard Aspel brings the reader into the mystical goings-on and makes each character stand out. He differentiates Ivan, the kind and gentle youngest son of the czar, and the evil brothers, Yuri and Igor, especially well. He creates the antiquated vocal elegance that is necessary in narrating a fairy tale, and the listener is treated to a pleasing, although somewhat formulaic, account of an elusive bird and a romantic fantasy."
