Our Wild Calling

Anyone who has connected with animals will find reason to rejoice as this fascinating audiobook explores the human-animal bond. Narrator Graham Winton has an instantly authoritative voice, yet his delivery leaves a wide berth for the audiobook's undercurrent of wonder and awe. Winton brings excitement to the stories of animal encounters like the one about the diver who is gripped in the arms of a giant octopus and another about two hikers who are led purposefully away from a moose killed by a pack of wolves. Winton's performance even manages to give personality to a protozoan. Whether contemplating a cross-species translator or imagining a future filled with robotic pets, this audiobook encourages listeners to interact with other organisms on a much deeper level than we usually do.
