In this episode, we are joined by our favourite storyteller ever! STEPHEN FRY!!! He’s a legendary actor, writer, producer and thinker, and the inspiration behind us bringing stories to life. Why? Because we’ve listened to ALL of the Harry Potter audiobooks read by him. He's a master of many voices, bringing emotion and excitement to everything he reads. We've also listened to loads of other audiobooks read by him for kids (and adults). Just search for him at Audible, or anywhere really!
Today’s story is about the invention of a game you really should know. It was first read by Stephen on his outstanding podcast, Great Leap Years (www.stephenfry.com/greatleapyears). Great Leap Years extracts used with kind permission of Stephen Fry.
