Publisher Description
The life of a traveling merchant is a lonely one, a fact with which Kraft Lawrence is well acquainted. Wandering from town to town with just his horse, cart, and whatever wares have come his way, the peddler has pretty well settled into his routine-that is, until the night Lawrence finds a wolf goddess asleep in his cart. Taking the form of a fetching girl with wolf ears and a tail, Holo has wearied of tending to harvests in the countryside and strikes up a bargain with the merchant to lend him the cunning of "Holo the Wisewolf" to increase his profits in exchange for taking her along on his travels. What kind of businessman could turn down such an offer? Lawrence soon learns, though, that having an ancient goddess as a traveling companion can be a bit of a mixed blessing. Will this wolf girl turn out to be too wild to tame?
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
A streetwise traveling merchant and a very unusual girl have a lot to learn from each other in Isuna Hasekura’s enchanting medieval fantasy. Lawrence is smart and ambitious, but clumsy when it comes to friendship. Holo has the appearance of a normal 15-year-old girl…except for the wolf ears and bushy tail. That’s because she’s actually an ancient wolf god, something that makes her pretty lonely despite her playful confidence. We loved following along as these two unlikely friends became a loyal, winning team with the power to take on the scheming nobles and clergymen of their world. Narrator J. Michael Tatum brings a pitch-perfect naturalism to this character-driven tale.

Great reading and an amazing story
J Michael Tatum does a wonderful job bringing life to the setting of Spice and Wolf and he’ll forever be the voice of Kraft Lawrence to me!
Completely worth the price for the work he’s done in this book and i’m looking forward to buying the rest this series in audio form! He just does a great job, very expressive with his voice and seamlessly make me envision the world he’s narrating for.
Amazing yet again.
I have been obsessed with this series since the day I first discovered the manga 6 years ago, I have then aggressively collected and read anything I could get my hands on for it, including all the light novels, manga, games, and sequel, not to mention have an entire tattoo sleeve of this show. Having said that I extremely fangirled over finding that they are now doing an audiobook version of this! Having J. Michael Tatum narrating only made it better! If you like Spice and Wolf, then this is a must for you! I genuinely can’t recommend it enough!
Amazing
I need all volumes with alternating narrations by Michael Tatum and brina palencia please and thank you.
