Used. Paperback. Walter Wangerin’s modern myth takes the age-old battle between good and evil and boldly sets it straight in the farmyard, featuring a proud rooster named Chauntecleer who must protect his flock from a deeply sinister serpent. It’s an allegorical fantasy brimming with spiritual grit, trading sugary pastoral charm for the genuine terror of a world teetering on the edge of darkness. You will marvel at how effortlessly talking animals shoulder weighty theological themes without ever feeling like a Sunday school lesson in feathers. Grab this one before the opposition gets ahead, and prepare for a remarkably fierce flight of fancy.
