Moving Tales brings The Pedlar Lady of Gushing Cross to the iPad in a stunning revival of an old tale.

What is like to be a kid in 2010?

We started Moving Tales to expand and explore storytelling on the iPad platform. Not just any stories, but tales with rich legacies, many of which have been told for millennia. We are taking these stories for a walk – rephrasing and reframing them in a way that is compelling and appropriate to this new platform. Although they have aspects of books, animated films, storytelling and interactive media, the result is greater than the sum of its parts. Our very bold intention is to develop the first great iPad storybook app. –Matthew Talbot-Kelly, Founder, Producer and Director of Moving Tales
