About The Production

A new range of children’s audio stories named Beautiful Bedtime Stories is being launched via Spokenworld Audio as part of a joint venture between Bruno Langley (Coronation Street), Graham Seed (BBC Radio 4’s The Archers) and Christian Edwards (Les Misérables, West End).

Written, narrated and composed by the three talented actors, the six charming 10-minute stories will appeal to 5-11 year olds with the series, all played sequentially to include: Milton the Lonely Kitten, Toby and His Amazing Football Gloves, Bouncing Bea, Smellybelly the Hedgehog, Tabatha the Witch and Seigfried the Sailor.

Famously known as “Todd Grimshaw” in ITV1’s Coronation Street, Bruno Langley initiated the idea to create a series of children’s stories and also composed and performed the score for each story using several techniques including live piano performances.

Bruno commented: “Having a son inspired me to embark on a creative project aimed at children. When I was a kid I used to listen to storyteller cassette tapes before bedtime, letting my imagination run wild at all the wonderful stories I was hearing. Working with Graham and Christian from coming up with the story concepts, to the writing, narrating and composing, I would like to hope that Beautiful Bedtime Stories sparks the same reaction in children these days, so they can have the same wonderful experience I did.”

Christian is a West End performer making his debut as a children’s writer. It’s his writing skills that define each of the stories, with Graham narrating each of them in his distinctive calm voice. Graham is best known as the voice of “Nigel Pargetter” in BBC Radio 4’s The Archers, who he played for 30 years before his dramatic exit in 2011. Graham also played Britannicus in I, Claudius. This is the first children’s book Graham has been involved in, so it will be familiar to many parents and grandparents alike when listening along with the children.

Bruno continued: “Audiobooks are certainly a different way of getting children into a love of books. They allow children’s imaginations to run free, as there are no pictures or illustrations for them to refer to, so they are great for sparking creativity! Plus, with many children having personal audio equipment, it means they can listen on the move during long car journeys, as well as in the comfort of their own bed like I used to as a child.”

DOWNLOADING INFORMATION

Our audiobooks download as zipped files (due to their size and for your convenience). Once unzipped you will find all of the mp3 files for your audiobook named, and in correct file order.  Due to the way Apple has designed iOS, iPhones and iPads don’t recognise these zip files automatically (unlike Android devices).  So, if you buy one of our titles via your iPhone or iPad, there are two ways to find and listen to your files:

[1] Download for FREE iZip for iOS – then download the audiobook using the link provided either on the webpage or the email we sent you. After the file has downloaded click on the Open With option and choose iZip. The app will open and ask if you want it to unzip all the files, say yes. A minute or so later you will have a list of mp3 files in order, and you just need to tap on the one you want to play and it will start playing in the Audioplayer. You can easily play, pause, jump forward or back.

[2] Slightly easier – download the zip file to your PC or MAC, unzip it to a folder you know the location of (such as your Music or Documents folder), then use iTunes to transfer the files in the same way you would a music album.

We hope you enjoy your audiobook and come back for more soon!
