Doctor Trotter knows everything there is to know about pigs. He is, after all, the founder of that famous online resource, Pigipedia. So when he shares his own experiences of dodging carving knives and pork pies, you can rest assured that he knows what he is talking about.
You can also expect the odd squeals of excitement, regular snorts of surprise, and constant (pork) belly laughs as Doctor Trotter’s adventure begins to resemble the tale of three other famous pigs.
You will never have heard it told this way, though. So whether you are human or hog, you need to read Doctor Trotter’s Danger Signs for Little Swines.
Doctor Trotter was recorded and produced at Monkeynut Audiobooks. www.monkeynutuk.com

Lord Dunsany was the fantasy writer's fantasy writer. From Tolkien to Gaiman, from Le Guin to Moorcock, his heroes and strange situations inspired an entire genre of modern dark fantasy.
Come now to discover the secrets of strange islands, the fate of thieves who dare to steal from gods, encounters with the Sphinx and the Dragon of Romance in suburbia, and the desperate quest to make a Queen cry. Along the way, you'll meet characters like the centaur that travelled from one edge of the world to another, and monsters that sit on their hoard of rubies, or giant diamonds, or even on treasures beyond value, waiting for daring and foolish adventurers. Also includes the first adventure of the magnificent Captain Shard.
The Book of Wonder is one of the most important books in the lineage of fantasy fiction. It introduced themes that Lord Dunsany worked with for the rest of his career, which created tropes that you'll recognise as if you've read and loved this book many times before.
Book editions include illustrations by Sidney Syme, Lord Dunsany's artist.

Dawno temu, kiedy rodzice byli jeszcze dziećmi, na co dzień słuchano w radiu czy z płyt inscenizacji bajek. Wielu rodziców do dziś jeszcze pamięta niezwykły urok i klimat tych słuchowisk, a niejeden potrafi zaśpiewać swoim dzieciom niegdyś zasłyszane piosenki. I oto raz jeszcze zebrali się w Teatrze Polskiego Radia najwybitniejsi aktorzy, żeby zinterpretować dla dzieci bajkę. Powstało słuchowisko o niecodziennym rozmachu i na niespotykanym poziomie reżyserskim, muzycznym i aktorskim. Literacki, a zarazem współczesny język, budująca bajkową atmosferę i napięcie narracja, żywe dialogi pomiędzy bohaterami, różnorodny podkład muzyczny i akustyczny, wzruszające piosenki: wszystko w tym nagraniu składa się na jego niezwykły charakter. Wydawca gwarantuje, że każdy, kto wysłucha tej bajki, będzie nią zachwycony i zapragnie dać ją do przesłuchania swoim dzieciom.
