Bedtime Stories with R.A. Spratt
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.
Bedtime Stories with R.A. Spratt
Hamlet is Not OK - extract from my new book
My new book 'Hamlet is Not OK' goes on sale this week. I recorded two chapters as a bonus episode to promote this event. I hope you enjoy it.
Here's what it says about 'Hamlet is Not OK' on the back of the book...
Selby hates homework. She would rather watch TV - anything to escape the tedium of school, her parent's bookshop and small-town busybodies. So Selby didn't plan to read Hamlet. She certainly never planned to meet him.
Hamlet, the much-maligned miseryguts, is seen here with the empathy of a modern teenager's gaze. With warmth, brilliant banter, deadpan humour and, well, dead people. R.A. Spratt brings her trademark wit to Shakespeare's famous play.
