**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.

Friday Barnes and the Case of the Incriminating Trousers Jul 04, 2022

Show notes

This is a repeat episode because I'm away on holiday. I picked a Friday Barnes one because I know there are lots of Friday Barnes fans out there, also I am currently writing a Friday Barnes book. This chapter is one of my favourite stories. It is very silly.

"Sisyphus" as told by Nanny Piggins Jul 01, 2022

Show notes

This is a repeat episode because I'm away on holiday. It's one of my favourites because it is the first of the Greek Myths I did with Nanny Piggins. It was a lot of fun and I've done many Greek Myths since. Although some of the names are hard to pronounce which means I have to do lots of retakes when I'm recording.

A Tall Tale about Socks and Goblins Jun 29, 2022

Show notes

This is another replay because I'm on holiday with my family.
I love this story. It may be one that appeals more to Mums. I like that it features both of my daughters. My older daughter always complains that she isn't mentioned as much in the tall tales as her younger sister. I love the sock fairy. It is one of my favourite ideas I've come up with for this series.

"The Elves and the Shoemaker" as told by Nanny Piggins Jun 27, 2022

Show notes

This is a replay of a story I wrote for the Adelaide Writer's Festival in 2021. I tried to record it live but it all went horribly wrong, so I recorded this in my hotel room that night. I'm very fond of this story. I do like coffee cake. Plus the Elves and the Shoemaker is a story my mother used to read to me when I was little.

Chapter 23 - The Big Day - The Peski Kids 2, Bear in the Woods Jun 20, 2022

Show notes

Daffodil Day finally arrives. Dad is forced to dress up in a ridiculous costume. The mayor refuses to believe the truth about the bear, not when there are so many tourists in town.
