Williams confers a gruff, businesslike tone on Alfred while Birdie’sĭelightful singing voice will capture listeners as strongly as it does With his apprentice, Birdie, there’s no bogle they can’t vanquish.

Birdie lures the bogles out of their lairs with her sweet songs, and Alfred kills them before they kill her.

If ever a chill entered her soul, or the hope suddenly drained from her heart, she knew a bogle was to blame.īirdie McAdam, a ten-year-old orphan, is tougher than she looks.
