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
