About this listen
One of the most hopeful, honest and wildly imaginative novels you will ever listen to.
This is the story of Isaac and the Egg, a grieving young man and his unforgettable new friend, who meet at exactly the right time.
Isaac stands alone on a bridge and screams.
Something screams back.
And that, like everything which follows, is unforgettable.
This is an audiobook about a lot of things - grief, hope, friendship, love. It's also about what you'd do if you stumbled into the woods at dawn, found something extraordinary there, and decided to take it home.
It's a tale that might seem familiar. But how it speaks to you will depend on how you've lived until now.
Sometimes, to get out of the woods, you have to go into them. Isaac and the Egg is one of the most hopeful, honest and wildly imaginative novels you will ever listen to.

Narrator excelled
Johnny Flynn’s narration of this book was superb and sent me searching to find more that he had done.

So much more than it first appeared
What a beautiful story. I nearly gave up early on as it was all a bit odd, but I’m so glad I persisted. This one will stay with me - I can feel it in my yolk.

A insightful exploration of grief and the loneliness that follows loss.
A book about loss and grief, but also a book about moving through that despair with the help of an unlikely friendship. The voice actor captures the stories quirky and humerous moments perfectly, whilst also delivering wonderfully through the deeper darker moments. This book totally swept me up in the world of Issac and the Egg.

Superb story brilliantly narrated
This is the type of story which touches your heart and I’m so glad I listened to it on audio. The narrator more than did it justice - he made Egg a real character. It’s a book I’d listen to again for sure. Highly recommend.

Beautiful Story
A beautiful story of trauma, grief and healing and Johnny Flynn’s narration was spot on. I will definitely be in the look out for more books by Bobby Palmer in the future.

Wonderful
Excellent narration
Wonderful story that reminded me a bit of Douglas Adams with its off beat humour.
Well constructed and beautifully written.
I enjoyed every minute. Thank you.
