About this event
Our heroes Atom & Luna (left home alone by their mother) are saved from starvation by the arrival of their magical child minder, Iffly Sney.
But Iffly falls terribly ill and only the twins can save him. They must seek out the mysterious Old Mother Redbeard.
And so begins Atom & Luna’s journey into the heart of the forest that will change their lives forever.
Chronicle One – Tales from the Forest
TALES FROM THE FOREST is a series of audio tales (each a story in its own right) which introduce us to the magical forest our heroes must pass through in order to find Old Mother Redbeard. Each tale is written by BBC 6 Music’s Murray Lachlan Young, with music by Paul Hartnoll (Orbital), creatively directed by Nina Hajiyianni and with illustrations by Bek Palmer.
