Once Upon a World
Most of our British listeners – well at least the parents – will remember the late actor John Le Mesurier, best known as Sargeant Wilson in the television comedy, Dad’s Army. Like the wonderful, long running series its self, he summed up a certain type of Englishness. The character he played was gentle, civil and considerate beyond the call of duty.
We are pleased to say that you will shortly be hearing John Le Mesurier’s unmistakeably unflappable tones on Storynory. Our friends at Once Upon a World have uncovered some recordings he made many years ago of Bible Stories, specially adapted for children by Robert Duncan. Once Upon a World is selling the complete set of stories as audio downloads, but they are letting us publish six of them for free here. We are saving up one – the Nativity – for Christmas.
The Once Upon a World take on the Bible is fresh, original, and wry. They aren’t quite the King James VI version, but we trust they will appeal to children – and they are certainly very good tales. We feel that John Le Mesurier’s style of reading follows naturally from Natasha, who will introduce all the stories. We hope that you will agree. In any case, let us know.
In due course, you will find all the this special audio series here on Storynory, under the Bible Stories category.
A selection of Bible Stories for children from Once Upon a World Read by John Le Mesurier of Dad's Army fame. Old and New Testament.

But the young Icarus, overwhelmed by the thrill of flying, did not heed his father’s warning, and flew too close to the sun whereupon the wax in his wings melted and he fell into the sea. Daedalus escaped to Sicily and Icarus’ body was carried ashore by the current to an island then without a name. Heracles came across the body and recognized it,
