ELIJAH OF BUXTON [AUDIOBOOK] by Christopher Paul Curtis narrated by Mirron Willis Listening Library;ISBN: 9780739364154;$55;2008 In this serio-comic historical romp, 11-year-old Elijah is the first freeborn child in a Canadian haven for runaway slaves. Willis' syncopated speech patterns, sinuous timbre, and carefully modulated pitch easily coalesce, creating a visceral sense of time, place, and character.
