Audiobook read by Juliet Stevenson
The fortune teller's words seemed to make no sense: to find his sister, whom he'd been told had died years earlier, young orphaned Peter DuChene must "follow the elephant."
This begins a remarkable series of magic and miracles through a mythical Old World town in the midst of a bitter winter. The characters are outrageous and amazing: a missing sister, a singing beggar, a blind dog, a crippled stone carver, a magically-conjured elephant and most especially, a policeman who continually and hopefully asks: "What If?"

Inventive, surreal, and poetic prose narrate a fable to captivate readers and listeners, ages 8 to adult.
The audio book is highly recommended for all ages.
