The King with Dirty Feet – app LIVE!

The king has dirty feet, and his servant Gabu has three days to rid the land of dust! Help Gabu sweep, brush, and stitch as he tries to clean the kingdom. Funny, and charming, with a twist at the end, ‘The King with Dirty Feet’ combines the best traditional storytelling with cutting-edge technology.

International team Marmelada have produced a dynamic storytelling app based on my best-loved tale ‘The King with Dirty feet’. Exciting narrative drives the app, so listeners want to know what happens next. Brilliantly coloured illustrations, by artist Martha Tsiara, bring dazzling landscapes and vibrant characters vividly to life. The live storytelling experience is re-created by listening to my voice set in an inventive and playful sound-world composed by musician Panos Ghikas. Multimedia wizard Fotios Begklis brings it all together with gentle and humorous interactivity.

‘The King with Dirty Feet’ is a picture book brought to life. It is perfect for any child aged 3 and over, but aimed at children from 3 – 8 years old. ‘The King with Dirty Feet’: develops listening skills with rhythm, repetition and humor; helps younger children build their sense of story structure; engages the imagination as younger children listen, watch, read, and play!
