Tring woman creates audiobook to keep children entertained during lockdown

A woman from Tring has created an audiobook of children's bedtime stories for Spotify.

Georgia Kirkland, an actress/filmmaker, created the audiobook as a side project during lockdown to keep families, and herself entertained.

The 22-year-old wanted to do something to bring joy to children, and families during the coronavirus pandemic.

Journey to Dreamland is a collection of children's books that Georgia has been reading for Spotify, she tries to add a new book each week.

She said: "I wanted to bring some joy to families during these difficult times.

"I thought that with a lot of children still off school this might be a nice thing for them to do by themselves, or as a family.

"I've really enjoyed reading these stories, hope everyone else does too."

Georgia has a degree in film-making and wants to tell stories, whether that be behind the camera, in front of the camera or as a voiceover.

She added: "I have read Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood and The Dragon and His Grandmother for the audiobook and will be adding more children's classics each week.

"I try to add one each week, so listen out for more to come."
