Have you ever been on a long journey with your family and, after hours in the car or on the plane, you were so bored you thought you just might go mad? Well, that\u2019s what this record is for. Just when you\u2019re about to say \u201care we there yet\u201d for the 400th time, instead try saying \u201cMum, can we listen to Lubin again?\u201d I promise, the car will feel like it\u2019s going twice as fast once the music starts.<\/p>\n

Now, it may come as a surprise to you, but your parents get just as bored and fed up as you do, so we\u2019ve made sure they\u2019ll enjoy these stories just as much as their kids. Just in a different way \u2013 there are aspects to all five stories that we are pretty sure older listeners will connect with.<\/p>\n

My friend David, who wrote Lubin, from Chelm, got interested in creating new musical storytelling works because he was reading bedtime stories to his two little girls. Several years later, I started writing The Ugly Duckling for my kids when they were little for the same reason. It\u2019s been great over the years to see thousands of young people at our concerts laugh at the exploits of Lubin, the hapless robbers in the Bremen Town Musicians or the grandiose Condessa Duck. But, if we\u2019re able to put a smile on your face on a rainy afternoon at home, or help the trip to your summer holidays go a bit quicker, then we\u2019ll all be very happy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
