Kakapos by Jo Lloyd
There's nothing surprising about Muriel, or her life. Until she falls through a portal and meets Rip Van Winkle. Jo Lloyd's modern fairy tale is read by Yasemin 脰zdemir.
Muriel has an aversion to thinking. So she pays no attention when the news reports that, everywhere, portals are opening up to the below world. That is, until she falls into one.
Jo Lloyd reimagines Rip Van Winkle to a contemporary world.
This series of modern fairy tales reinvented by leading writers has been specially commissioned to celebrate a major new exhibition at The British Library dedicated to fairy tales, as well as the National Year of Reading.
