Four legs good, two legs bad... Coming soon!

Introducing a new regular bonus episode... The first Friday of the month is #FairyTaleFriday! I'll be reading original versions of the fairy tales we all think we know... For this first one, I've chosen Hansel and Gretel, as told by the Brothers Grimm, and translated by Lucy Crane. I thought it was appropriately creepy since we're still in Halloween week! Music used is by Kevin MacLeod and can be downloaded from: https://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/ [https://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/] Tracks: "Fairytale Waltz" "Darkest Child"

FULL AUDIOBOOK NOW AVAILABLE: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/willowaudiobooks [https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/willowaudiobooks] The following is a sample from Episode 4 (the final part) of Peter Pan & Wendy. In order to gain access to the full episode, please visit the link above and make a donation to Great Ormond Street Hospital. You will then be emailed a download link and access code. In 1929, JM Barrie unexpectedly and generously gifted his copyright of Peter Pan to Great Ormond Street Hospital. In recognition of the unprecedented generosity and the exceptional work of the hospital itself, the House of Lords sprinkled more fairy dust over GOSH in 1988 by voting overwhelmingly for a special clause in the UK’s Copyright, Designs & Patents Act. This amendment gives the hospital the right to a royalty from Peter Pan in perpetuity in the UK. Thus, for over 80 years so far, the story of Peter Pan has benefitted the seriously ill children who come to GOSH for life-saving treatment every day, and will continue to do so in the future.
