This 11-hour audio adventure – in which the eccentric time-traveller chases stolen goods through time and space – was originally published in 2011 as a traditional novel by writer (and creator of Iris Wildthyme) Paul Magrs.

Meet Iris Wildthyme, transtemporal adventuress, who travels the multiverse with her best friend Panda, in the Celestial Omnibus - a double-decker bus that is a bit smaller on the inside than it is on the outside...

When a mysterious glass jar is stolen by dog pirates from a spaceship orbiting Earth, it seems that everyone wants to get their hands on it - from the hypnotic Antony Marvelle and his dog pirates, to Iris Wildthyme and her new friend Simon. The chase will take them from 19th Century Montmatre to the perplexing world of Hyspero via the Hammersmith Odeon and several rifts in the Very Fabric of time...

Iris Wildthyme and Friends: Enter Wildthyme is now available to own for just £9.99 (as a download only), exclusively here.

Katy Manning said: “These books are packed with even more wackiness and many more voices [than before] and I truly loved the challenge every step of the way. I’m truly so grateful to have done these incredible books.”

Producer Xanna Eve Chown said: “Enter Wildthyme is offbeat, funny, and bursting with amazing and outlandish characters – each one given a different voice by the incredible Katy Manning.

“Katy worked so hard on these Iris books and really went above and beyond to get everything right! She's an absolute marvel. This book is just the start of a madcap series of adventures, so I hope everyone gets on board – it's definitely worth the ride!”
