About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin

William Cody grows up surrounded by his father's tales of Buffalo Bill, to whom he is distantly related and his fantasies of the Wild West.

Though he escapes his heritage by fleeing abroad and starting a new life for himself, he finds that he is always drawn back to England and to his ancestry.

When his father proposes that together they should recreate Buffalo Bill's stage show, The Congress of Rough Riders of the World for a contemporary audience, William refuses to have any part of it. When tragedy strikes, however, it is to his father that he must eventually return.

Loved this book. Set in lots of different places and times in American and British history.












great read.

Every book by John Boyne tells a very different story and this is no exception. The lives of Buffalo Bill Cody and his descendants are wound together in this tale that kept me listening from start to finish.

Another Great Story

I really persevered with this one. Poorly narrated, weak predictable story - if I'd attempted this JB first, it would have been the last.

Struggled to finish this one!
