Nostradormouse
Theme Tune
Very few books have their own theme tune, but Nostradormouse does. Why? Well, it's two-fold. Firstly, there is a scene in the story where a blackbird (a sort of Bardic Postman) sings a song about the little fellow, and it just made sense to actually write the music to go with the lyrics. Secondly, this enables me to have a ready-made theme tune for the podcast version of the story.

I sing in praise of the healer of voles,
Of beavers and foxes and badgers and moles,
This giver of nostrums will know of your plight
And come to your aid when the moon shines its light.
With flowers and herbs he will mix you a drink,
Be you lizard or rabbit or turtle or mink,
And when you are well he will slip from your house,
The most humble of healers is Nostradormouse.
