Summary
This heartfelt dramatisation is voiced by award-winning British actor Bill Nighy, with an afterword recorded by Judith herself.
What do you do if you find an abandoned seal pup on a rock in the middle of the sea? Well, take it home with you to your flat, of course.
At least that’s what Mr Albert Cleghorn thought, though perhaps he hadn’t considered all the complications…
This is the story of what then happened to Mr Cleghorn and Charlie the seal in their determination to find a home for Charlie and, incidentally, happiness for them both.
Sometimes funny, sometimes sad, Mister Cleghorn’s Seal is a classic in the making from the inimitable Judith Kerr.

Beautifully told story
A simple but lovely tale, very easy listen, Bill Nighy does a wonderful job of telling the story as if it is his own, you can imagine sitting in a chair by him simply listening. Certainly listen to the piece by Judith at the end.
