About this listen

Abandoned and alone, 13-year-old Joe's world is shattered when he enters a deserted council house and becomes trapped within a labyrinth protecting the last magical places on earth. There, Joe discovers a book charting this immense no-man's land, without time or place, its 13 doors each leading to a different realm.

Hunted by sinister foes, the boy is forced ever deeper into both the maze and the mystery of his missing parents. What will he find at the labyrinth's centre, and can it reunite him with the family he so desperately needs?

Crossing through diverse landscapes from Victorian Britain to '50s New Orleans, The Stranger's Guide to Talliston is inspired by the internationally famous house and gardens dubbed "Britain's Most Extraordinary Home" by the Sunday Times. It is a classic YA tale of adventure that introduces listeners to an otherworld hiding in plain sight, cloaked in magic and steeped in imagined history. Yet beyond its fearsome huntsmen and battling magicians dwells the secret that lies within all of us--the power to live extraordinary lives.
