Broadcast today on Radio 4 and available to stream on BBC Sounds, The Goblin King and Me is a gorgeous 45-minute drama from Bafflegab Productions, written by Paul Magrs.
Magrs has adapted The Goblin King and Me from his novelette Stardust and Snow, which is itself available as an ebook or limited edition paperback from Obverse Books, and as the first story in Paul's self-published collection Christmassy Tales via Amazon. Based itself on a true story told to the author, it's a beautiful story about the eyes of childhood, learning to live in a world that doesn't understand you, and embracing the magic in life for as long as you can.
The 10th of January will be the tenth anniversary of David Bowie's death, so this is the perfect time for this story of a special meeting with the star that made a difference to little boy's life. It stars Frankie Treadaway, with support from real-life husband and wife James Bolam and Susan Jameson, with master impressionist Jon Culshaw as Bowie, in all his guises. A lovely late Christmas present.
