The Surprise Star Narrator“The Garden Grump is brought to life by a storyteller of rare talent - and a voice you may well already know.”
An award-winning narrator who has spent a lifetime bringing stories to life, holding listeners spellbound at every turn of the page - and when this little garden reached him, he said yes. Every humph, every huff, every weary sigh of a daisy who'd rather be left alone: performed with the mischief and tenderness of someone who understands exactly what a children's story is for - joy, imagination, and that special moment of connection between a child and their parent.
Not only an extraordinary talent, he has shown astonishing kindness and generosity in giving his voice and his precious time to The Garden Grump.
In saying yes, he helped an author realise an aspiration carried quietly for many years - and for that, this garden will always be grateful.
His name stays our secret until launch day. His voice will be worth the wait.
Revealed Autumn 2026.
Don't ask the ladybird - she won't let the secret out.
