In the first episode of Layliana’s Tale, Todalie, a little teddy bear with the lovliest softiest browniest fur was rescued from the river by the Sun. He was very sad and unhappy as he had been left there by his very best friend Jimmy, who didn’t want him anymore.
The Sun brought Todalie to her friend, The Elder Wiblet, who fixed the little teddy. He wasn’t able to fix him completely as some of the stuffing was missing out of his head, but Todalie was able to manage most things on his own, even though he sometimes forgot to do things and sometimes even forgot how to do things.
While he was looking at his reflection in the river one morning, he bent over a little too far and fell in. Luckily, he was rescued by Father Swan who brought him back home to his little ferny nest under an old stone bridge.
The story continues from here.

I am a session bassist and contemporary composer based in Ireland, most of my studio work these days is done from my own studio via Dropbox etc. I am also a member of Derek Ryan's touring band.
I play Double bass and Bass guitar and most recently a derivative of the Chapman Stick, the NS Stick and several other instruments when I must :-)
I have two solo instrumental albums on release called "End of a longer day" and "A small shadow" and my sister Susan and I are currently writing and recording a series of Audiodramas/Books called the The Todalie Stories, a series for kids of all ages including adults that refuse to grow up. comprising Text, Audio & Illustrations (by Vitya Malirsh), inspired by special people, the unseen little folk, and other fantastic creatures that inhabit the woods, streams and lakes on this island .
The stories explore the concept of triumph over adversity and illustrate the importance of inclusiveness, the powerful impact of community spirit, bringing together disparate groups to achieve a common goal in a respectful inclusive space.
The first story (abridged) is available as a Podcast called The Todalie Stories on all good podcast providers and on www.todalie.com.
During lockdown I completed a course in Music Composition for Games in Pulse and Griffith College Dublin, and am currently involved in several exciting writing projects so watch this space!
