Pirate stories: Audio Book CD for children kids NEW

"Those gifted with storytelling weave an invisible web that draws the listener into the tale without you realizing what’s happening. Sophie Snell is one of those storytellers whose voice mesmerizes you while images form in your mind as the tale unfolds. “The Pirate’s Tale” haunts the listener with its poignant reality. Your mood goes from one of joy and happiness to one of sorrow and devastation. It is a story that remains with you long after it ends.

" 'The Curse of Wicca Tree' is spellbinding – your eyes widen as the truth of Gwinear’s fate creeps into your psyche.

"Although created for children, The Pirate’s Sister is for all ages – booty fit for any pirate’s treasure chest. The sound effects enhance the listener’s experience. If you can resist listening to these tales until the sky is gray and rain pelts the window panes, I recommend waiting. A stormy day provides the perfect backdrop. Just close your eyes and you’ll see the waves as they crash upon the shore, and the magic of storytelling whisks you to a distant time and place rife with brigands of the sea."

Giving the CD 5 gold stars, so writes Cindy Vallar, editor and reviewer of the Pirates and Privateers book review website in the US, in her April 07 issue.

eBay feedback

The first story - The Pirate's Sister - is is an evocative tale of love, loyalty and betrayal.  Set in Cornwall it features pirates, a mysterious seal woman and adventures on the high seas.

The second story is The Curse of Wicca Tree.  Gillan Gwinear was the most wicked of pirates.  A brave priest uses his wits to defeat the monstrous Gwinear.

CD Running time - 45 minutes.

 

"These stories are highly atmospheric, written to stimulate a child's fascination with story-telling and the beautiful rhythmic sounds of our English language.  These are not "dumbed down" cartoon stories, but intelligent, evocative tales carefully paced to engage the imagination and mind of young children.

"Our 3 year old enjoys them just as much as our 8 year old, tuning into the lyrical voice of the narrator and gentle music just as much as the exciting sound effects of thunder and musket fire.

"Whether your child is mad about pirates, is fascinated by supernatural folk tales or just loves animals, the sea and our wonderful Cornish coastline, we hope the whole family will enjoy these tales." 

Music featured is by kind permission of Howdenjones - a contemporary acoustic music trio based in Glasson Dock, Lancashire who regularly tour National Rural Touring Scheme and folk club venues to great acclaim.
