Stories are a fundamental part of life aren’t they? From the beginning stories were told & retold, passed down from generation to generation. I’m no good at making up stories but I love to read them and especially enjoy re reading my favourites! Reading aloud, sharing a story with others, that’s what this podcast is about, whether you snuggle up in a cosy place or tune in whilst walking the dog or travelling. I hope you enjoy listening, perhaps you’ll rediscover some old favourites or be introduced to something new.
