Wouldn’t it be great if we could share our thoughts with animals, and hear theirs in return? Trace what those thoughts might be with Nicola Davies as she introduces Skrimsli, her new fantasy adventure about the early life of the tiger sea captain who stole our hearts in The Song That Sings Us.
Skrimsli and his friends must escape the clutches of a tyrannical circus owner and his twin assassin-acrobats, then stop a war and save an ancient forest, helped along the way by a series of unusual characters. It’s a story full of excitement and danger, exploring friendship, loyalty, identity and love, in the context of some of humanity’s toughest problems. Nicola is Children’s Laureate for Wales 2025–27.
