Children’s bedtime stories - free podcasts
Reading bedtime stories to children can be a great pleasure - and sometimes a bit of a chore, especially when you’re tired, and it’s at the end of a long day. I found these audio stories on the Times Online website - classic fairytales read by celebrity story-tellers - and I am going to download them all if I can, or at the very least begin to stream them at bedtime for the kids. The complete set of stories - produced in association with Ford Galaxy and by Classic FM for the Times Online includes:
- Robert Lindsay reading Rumpelstiltskin
- Ashley Jensen (from Extras) reading Cinderella
- Maureen Lipman reading The Gingerbread Man
- Julian Clary reading Puss in Boots
- Shane Ritchie reading The Tin Soldier
- Samantha Morton reading The Princess & The Pea
- Greta Scacchi reading Rapunzel
- Miranda Richardson reading Little Red Riding Hood
- Imelda Staunton reading Alice in Wonderland
- Sanjeev Bhaskar reading The Ugly Duckling
- Tom Baker reading Aladdin
- Jack Davenport reading Jack and The Beanstalk
- Tamsin Outhwaite reading The Little Match Girl
- Geoffrey Palmer reading Tinderbox…
…and many more besides. Now, I enjoy bringing the stories I read to life, but having listen to a couple of these already, these really are wonderful productions and will really provide a special story-time at bedtime or on a car journey…
