Almost 10-year-old Octavia Bloom is looking for adventure, but when it comes, it's in the shape of a tiny fairy door.

Bravery, secrets, and magic intertwine in this fantastical adventure.
The Perfect Mix of Lewis and Blyton
'Estelle Grace Tudor has opened our minds to a world equally as charming as Enid Blyton’s Famous Five and CS Lewis’ Chroniclers of Narnia. Octavia Bloom has an enchanting plot and the performance of Deryn Oliver brought everything to life.' Amazon Reviewer
A perfect pinch of magic!
'Beautifully written and narrated! My seven year old and I enjoyed the book so much we bought the audible book to listen to in the car. The most exciting and magical read since we found Narnia in the back of the wardrobe! We are so looking forward to the next book in the series to find out what is in store for our new favourite family.' Amazon Reviewer

Deryn is a superb narrator and brought my story "Tell me another story Dad" to life... I couldn't recommend her more highly, if you want your project to shine.
Julie Hodgson Childrens Author
Taking our comments on board, she was great to communicate with and helped us work quickly towards achieving the desired result. I couldn't find any other artist who had a voice like hers and I feel she offered superb style and tone for what we wanted to achieve.

Meet Deryn Oliver
Even as a child at infant school in the 70’s I was complimented on my clear and confident speaking voice. When asked for volunteers to read out loud in class it was my hand that shot up as although I wasn’t great at science and maths, I knew I had a talent for speech.
And, as I found out in later years, a talent for acting too. Combine those two talents with a cheery disposition, a sense of fun, a touch of perfectionism, a smidgen of silliness and a large helping of reliability, and you have your 'go to' voice over artist.
My Vision
'Let’s not complicate things that are really quite simple’ - Mary Poppins
And I agree wholeheartedly. (Or should I say ‘Indubitably’) as being simple and straightforward to work with is what I am all about.
I will record a high quality voice over to your specifications for your project, will follow your directions, give feedback, chat with you about progress and above all will do all these in a timely and cheerful fashion.
I approach every voice over project, however large or small, with the same enthusiasm and attention to detail and ensure I have all the information up front in order to give you the best.
What makes me different
As well as having a quintessential English voice aka Mary Poppins, I can also bring other elements of her qualities to your project.
No, not the ability to sail up the banisters, fly with the aid of an umbrella or dance with penguins but I can bring a bit of calm order, and professionalism as well as a sense of fun and versatility to your voice over project. And if desired, I can magically change my voice to sound less like Mary and more like Bert (though with a better cockney accent!) or a wide variety of other voices.
And if you want to hear me voice your words before placing an order, I am more than happy to record a short sample for you to help you decide. Just fill out the form with details of your project and a small sample of the read and I will send a file via which ever method you prefer.
I'd Love to Help You
I’m so lucky to be able to work in this wonderful industry and I would love to hear about your voice over project so I can bring character to your words.
