Animal tales storytelling project
Animal tales is a series of six stories created by patients, families and staff at Great Ormond Street Hospital with the help of writer Sarah Butler.
Each story brings to life the various animals that represent the wards within the Morgan Stanley Clinical Building – Walrus, Flamingo, Bear, Koala and Eagle Wards.
These stories are available as books for patients to enjoy and also here in audio format, narrated by Peter Capaldi, Helena Bonham Carter, Rhys Ifans, Sir Ian McKellen, Sarah Millican and Barbara Windsor who very kindly donated their time to this project.
