Overview

Bedtime has never been so bonkers! The ultimate collection of short stories from the irrepressibly funny author of Friday Barnes. From the bestselling author and host of the hugely popular Bedtime Stories with R. A. Spratt podcast comes this bumper collection of the show's most popular stories. Just as the Grimm brothers collected fairytales and Scheherazade told tales of the Arabian nights, now R.A. Spratt has assembled the most comprehensive collection of silly stories ever bound together in one book. Stories so good no human mind could come up with them. They were often dictated to R.A. by the world's most glamorous storytelling pig, Nanny Piggins. There's a never-before-seen Friday Barnes mystery, and tall tales from R.A.'s own domestic life. You'd better brace yourself - these are tales so tall you will get altitude sickness. Delight your friends and dazzle your family by reading aloud from this book. Or drive them into a paroxysm of jealousy as they watch you silently read this book to yourself. Either way, you must buy this book if you want joy in your heart, a tickle in your funny bone and a boggled brain as you try to wrap your mind around the brilliance of these bedtime stories.

Author Information

R.A. Spratt was born in the UK and lived in Dursley, Gloucestershire - a town immortalised by Harry Potter's deeply unpleasant relatives - until she was two years old. Then, like many ambitious English people cursed with regional accents so strong no other British person can take them seriously, her family moved to Australia. The tedium of growing up in the western suburbs of Sydney was fertiliser to the growth of R.A.'s imagination. The only thing for a kid to do was get on a bicycle and go to the library, so R.A. Spratt did just that. Once there, she read everything, devouring the books of Arthur Ransome, Enid Blyton, Roald Dahl, Robin Klein and Judy Blume, and audiotapes of Shakespeare productions and Sherlock Holmes dramatisations. And so, her young mind was formed, and set on the path of becoming the extraordinary author she is today. Now based in Bowral NSW, she's the bestselling writer of dozens of absurd and witty books including Friday Barnes, The Adventures of Nanny Piggins, The Peski Kids and the Shockingly and Astonishingly Good Stories collections. Her podcast, Bedtime Stories with R.A. Spratt, has had over 4 million downloads and connects R.A. with story-lovers across the globe. For more information, visit raspratt.com
