9: The Wind in The Willows: Wayfarers All

January 6, 2019 • 42 mins
Hi Kids. Chapter 9 of the Wind in The Willows. I'm sorry if I have been a little erratic in loading some of these chapters but each one is recorded fresh, edited, and put out there for your enjoyment! This means that sometimes I'm not at my best. Some of these chapters have only been possible thanks to liberal doses of Lemsip and Halls Mentholyptus sweets. Hope I don't disappoint you too much, Bill.

Cheval

December 29, 2018 • 20 mins
Hi Kids. This track is 'Cheval'. 'Cheval' is the old french word for 'Horse'. Used today it describes a tall, slender mirror that stands free on four feet. Sometimes those feet can be very ornately carved, like the proud horses in the story. The story may be a little beyond some of our listeners, but it's a story about how we begin as a child with an open mind to the magic in our imagination, then as we grow older and have more res...

Hi Kids. Sorry for the delay bringing you this episode but I had a cold that made me croak like Mr Toad! Now I've recovered, I hope I've done as good a job of this one as I can. One late, hot summer evening, Mole and Rat set off in their boat to find Portly, a lost Otter cub. On their way they discover something even more astounding... something they would remember all their lives... if only they could remember what it was.. Listen...

The Time Mouse Chapter 1: 'A Deadly Secret'

December 1, 2018 • 16 mins
Hi Kids. This is Chapter 1: 'A Deadly Secret' of my novel, The Time Mouse. I think you will like Costello, he's one of those people (sorry, Mice) that always thinks he has the answer to everything, but really he's a bit of a fraud. I'm sure you all know people like that too! Anyway, Costello is here to ask for help. He has a problem with Time that only 'Normals', that's people like you and me, can help him with. Are you ready?

Hi Kids. Chapter two, 'The Open Road'. Listen to how Toad came to be obsessed with the motor car. I don't suppose he's that much different from the rest of us, do you? Sit back and enjoy 'The Open Road' (as long as Mr Toad is not driving!)

Foxes Frogs and Rice Pudding

September 10, 2018 • 21 mins
Hi Kids. I know that by now that you probably all think I'm a bit silly, just from listening to the content of these stories, but I'd like you to remember that I only wrote them. The stories were directed by the children from Sharrow School who suggested characters, plot and everything else I had to include (including skeletons and blood). I suspect that they were children just like you are now. So go ahead and enjoy letting your i...

1: The Wind in The Willows: The River Bank

August 27, 2018 • 30 mins
Hi Kids. This is the first chapter of Kenneth Grahame's 'The Wind in the Willows'. For those of you familiar with Ratty, Mole and Badger this will need no introduction, but what I have recorded is the original version of the story as printed in October of 1908, 110 years ago in another month or so. Some of the words Mr Grahame uses might make you think a little but it's worth the effort. Sit back, listen and enjoy... and no, you ca...
