Bedtime Stories with R.A. Spratt

<p>This is a weekly podcast of funny stories for kids. There are side-splitting versions of my own fractured fairy tales. Also short stories from some of my best-selling books, featuring characters from 'The Adventures of Nanny Piggins' and 'Friday Barnes, Girl Detective'. The stories are perfect for bedtime, long car rides or even if you're just stuck waiting a really long time at the doctor's office. They're written for 7-11 year olds but these are tales the whole family can enjoy. The silliness is ageless. I hope you enjoy listening to this as much as I enjoy recording it. After years of being a children's author, typing away in my office with only my goldfish for company, I was bursting to tell my stories out-loud and with lots of silly voices! So please - sit back, get comfy and enjoy some amazing, some silly and some just plain ludicous tales direct from my imagination to you.</p>

'The Legend of Tam Lin' as told by Nanny Piggins

When the children go a geography excursion, Nanny Piggins warns of the dangers that lurk within forests. It's not wild animals or huntsmen she's concerned about but a particular fairy with a passion for cake.

Reload for Spotify listeners - 'Friday Barnes 2, Under Suspicion'

Spotify blocked this episode when it dropped on Wednesday. They were worried I was infringing on the author's copyright, but of course, I am the author. I own the copyright. I have the right to record and publish it. Usually this is easy to fix, because Spotify sends me a link so I can get the episode reinstated. But the link doesn't work. I've been messaging with Spotify trying to fix this for five days and have made no progress. So I'm going to see if reloading the episode works. If you've ...
