Episode 24 of Tale Waves – our storytelling podcast for younger children – is inspired by the Castle Street Flowers stall in Farnham – and is called Floria.

It is set in 1810, and is about an orphaned child who is forced to sleep under the flower stall at night.

Thank you to Carl and Katy for their help and inspiration in putting this story together.
