2019/06/05

WHY THE BACK DOOR WAS FRONT In the days when were no books, or writing, there was an old woman, who had a bad reputation. She pretended to be very poor, so as not to attract or tempt robbers. Yet those who knew her best, knew also that she had plenty of money and was always counting out her coins. Besides this, she lived in a nice house, and people gossiped that she made a living by stealing babies out of their cradles to sell to the bad fairies. They said that for or an extra large sum, she

Bonnie Prince Charlie. Read by Bertie. Proofed and audio edited by Jana Elizabeth. Hello, this is Bertie and I’m here with a little bit of history from Scotland. Many people have heard the name Bonnie Prince Charlie, and perhaps seen his dashing portrait, but do not know the details of his remarkable adventure in the year 1745, when he led the clans of the Scottish highlands in a rebellion against their English rulers. So this is his story. And if you listen to the end, you will learn how

Speed Bonnie Boat

Speed, bonnie boat, like a bird on the wing, Onward! the sailors cry; Carry the lad that's born to be King Over the sea to Skye. Loud the winds howl, loud the waves roar, Thunderclaps rend the air; Baffled, our foes stand by the shore, Follow they will not dare. [Chorus] Though the waves leap, soft shall ye sleep, Ocean's a royal bed. Rocked in the deep, Flora will keep Watch by your weary head. [Chorus] Many's the lad fought on that day, Well the claymore could wield, When the night came, silently

2019/03/06

This is a RATHER SCARY STORY. Children and adults might be a touch frightened by Natasha’s rendering of the wicked witch who wants to cook little Hansel and Gretel. But they will also be enraptured by Hansel and Gretel’s ingenuity as they triumph over evil. We recorded this story around 2005/06 and have recently restored the muddy and boomy audio. We also have an operatic version of this story on the website.

Lapis and the Ghost Cats Part Two

Amon keeps a boat in the harbour which he uses for fishing. He carried us both onto this wobbly contraption, and set us down on the bench. Then took up his pole, probed for the bottom of the river and began to gently punt us through the moonlight. It was a clear, starry night. We glided past palm trees, watery fields, sleepy buffalo, and hippo cooling their blood in the water. These were sights we were used to seeing every day - but this night we looked at them differently. Everything we saw

Lapis and the Ghost Cats Part 1

Dedicated to Ivy from Texas Read by Natasha Written by Bertie Music and sound fx by Bertie We cats have our hates. We hate water ( except to drink), crocodiles, snakes, fleas, rotten fish, feeling hungry, dirt, stupid dogs, and all sorts of ghosts and spectres. So if this story is a bit scary, I’m sorry, I can’t help it. Spooky stuff happens sometimes. It was the time of the month when Lord Khonsu is round and fat. Oh, I am forgetting, you future people don’t call the gods by the names we use. I had

The Red Bandits

2019/02/13

A Story from Wales When chimneys were first added to houses in Wales, and the style of house-building changed, from round to square, many old people found fault with the new fashion of letting the smoke out. They declared they caught colds and sneezed more often, than in the times gone by. But the greatest objection that the old folks had to the chimneys was that robbers used them to climb down at night and steal people's money, when they were asleep. In Montgomery, which is one of the Welsh

The Chinese New Year of the Pig Dedicated to Penny And this is a story to celebrate the Chinese year of the pig. According to Chinese Astrology, each year is named after an animal. There are twelve animals of the zodiac in all, and each takes it in turns to have their year. There’s a story - which we recorded quite a while ago on Storynory - which explains how the years came to be named after animals. The Jade Emperor called a meeting of all the animals and the pig was the last to arrive

New Year Song: Auld Lang Syne

Storynory - Audio Stories For Kids ·

2018/12/31

Auld Lang Syne Auld Lang Syne is a poem written by the Scottish poet Robert Burns and set to a traditional Scottish Tune. By tradition, it is sung on New Year’s Eve by crowds of revellers linking hands. Ours is the sweet and magical version! The phrase Auld Lang Syne means something like “Once Upon a Time” which makes it very fitting for Storynory. The meaning of the lyrics is a little mysterious, but it appears to be about fondly remembering old friendships (acquaintance) - and is possibly

Music - In the hall of the Mountain King Peer (breathing heavily). It’s a good thing my legs are strong, because this mountain is steep. Up, up, I climb, the moon lighting my steps. And I can keep going for hours yet! Oh my young body is full of strength. I could pick up a pine tree if I wished ! I shall live on berries and rabbit stew, and if I need new clothes, the skin of a reindeer will do. See up there, the snow on the tops of the mountains sparkle in the light of the stars. That’s where I’m
