About this listen

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.

    'The Sinking of the Vasa' as told by Nanny Piggins
    Sep 2 2025

    Nanny Piggins tells the tale of how the Vasa, Sweden's great 17th century warship, managed to sink in the first thirty minutes of it's maiden voyage, and how the maritime tragedy would have been much worse if it weren't for the involvement of her Cousin Astrid Piggins and her cinnamon buns.

I love all the episodes and Christmas🎄 it is the perfect combination. I think everyone will love it. It is worth listening to because I listen to it every night. I prefer listening than reading 📖 it is much more soothing. Plus there are so many episodes it is probably over 1 days worth.
