W.O. Mitchell's spirited recording of his great comic novel The Kite languished forgotten for decades. Fans of the master storyteller will be delighted to discover this superb addition to the BTC Audiobooks growing Mitchell library. First published in 1962, The Kite was Mitchell's long-awaited follow-up to Who Has Seen the Wind. It tells the story of David Lang, a big-time Toronto journalist, who arrives in the small Prairie community of Shelby, Alberta, to write a magazine piece about the town's oldest citizen. The cantankerous Daddy Sherry stands out as one of Mitchell's most hilarious creations. Stubbornly alive in every sinew of his 111-year-old body, he is the antithesis of the uptight David, who responds to childhood disappointment with a fixation on time and loss. Full of tremendous verve, humour, and insight into human nature, this sly satire about the collision of two opposing world views is guaranteed to warm the hearts of audio listeners.
