I like your English story, which was download from the Internet by my lovely Dad. He want to help me keep my English level through listening your funny stroy because our family renturn to China recently. Thanks a lot for you kindness!
Josie (9) and Louisa (5) from Portland, Oregon say, “Natasha, you are really lovely! We listen to you all the time and it’s fun to see what you look like!”
Natasha,
Your voice is so melodic and soothing, it captures the attention of children and adults alike. All of your stories are my favorites, and I have to admit, I downloaded all of them only for me, since I have no children. I listen to them on my daily walks, and find the humdrum of exercise much improved by them! Many thanks, and do not stop, no matter what!
Sincerely,
Colette
Thank you for the tales!
You help me to improve my english!
Thank you
Natasha, you are a truely wonderful woman. your voice is real and you bring so mutch life into the charicters and to storynory. Ask anyone from storynory, the would be lost with out you.
sorry THEY would be lost with out you
Your voice is as pretty as you!!!!!
Natasha you are really a true heroine in story telling!You are no.1 compared to everyone in the world for story telling.
Thank you for telling me all these
wonderful stories.
I wouldn’t have anything to do after school other than doing homework if you didn’t tell these stories.
Sincerely,
Claylish
You tell good stories, and I like your voice. I wish I could meet you in person. Was Bertie really a prince? I’m in Kindergarten and I’m six years old.
I like Rikki Tikki Tavi and Halloween on the Pond because Rikki Tikki has a war laugh, Rikk Tikk Tikka Tikka Chikkh, and Halloween on the Pond because it has my name in it, Hal. I’m in first grade and I’m six years old.
Honestly, Natasha Gostwick is the best story-teller on the planet!! Her voice is soooo soothing (even for someone who just had a bad day), therapeutic and pleasing to the ears! Her story-telling skill is unmatched!!
How about a “Natasha Gostwick Fan club or web site” for her adoring fans (children and adults) worldwide?
That would be excellent I reckon.
Clara thank you for you kind comment. We think Natasha is the best storyteller too.

Natasha, since last year, I let my son Moises listen to your stories on our way to school. His facial expression changes as he listens. Now, he reads aloud with nice inflections and expressiveness instead of the usual child’s monotone. Thank you so much.
I loooooooooooooove your stories!
I’m 18 & I still listen to your stories , cos your voice is amazing & I’m a Chinese. So I learn English by your stories. It’s fun, hope you bring more stories for us . & you look beautuful . LOL .
I want to read your stories
Hmmmm…..I love your voice n your story!
(suaramu seindah wajahmu, semoga seindah juga budi pekertimu)
I think you are a very beautiful person. You have the most interesting inflections as you read the stories, though I have only listened to one of them. Continue doing what you do, I know you help a lot of children that way.
Hi Bertie,
May I know why when we leave comments on this page Natasha will not reply???
Hi Sheryl,
When Natasha is not doing Storynory she’s busy leading an actress’s life, and so I do all the replies. She loves reading the stories, - and she does them wonderfully - but it seems that this sort of thing is not for her.
Ok Bertie and thanks anyway.I left some comments in the stories Holloween on the pond and you did not reply maybe you can have a look and reply me thank you.
Dear Natasha,
We listen to you every night. We especially like the Tick Tock Turkey stories. But all of them are great. We are big fans. Mama says we can give you sandwiches, cookies and milk if you ever come over to where we live. Then WE can read YOU stories because you deserve stories too.

Dear Natasha,
I am atecher of english. In our country we teach english as a second languge,I found your stories very helpful for our students in learning listening skills.

My Charlotte (6) and Simon (4) LOVE you! Charlotte just saw your picture recently and said that you’re as pretty as your voice. I agree with her.
Hi, my kids love the stories on this site. We use audio books a lot as I am blind and so can’t read as much as I would like with my kids. Natasha is certainly one of the best readers of kids’ stories I have come across. Thanks for such a wonderful site. My kids and I appreciate it.
Donna - Thanks you so much for letting us know. I do think that somebody who is blind is in a good position to judge audio books. Natasha isn’t always online to answer comments, but I do know that she really appreciates lovely comments like this.
Your voice is very wonderfull. it has multi tones.
It has solid attraction towards it. I like your stories very much. Thank you.
thank you so much for the interesting ways you tell your stories!!!!!!!!i will now be able to win the inter-school storytelling competition~!!!!!!!thanks once again
You just too sweet
Dear Natasha,
We love you, and we love your story-nories. XO
Love, Max, age 3 and a half (preschool) and Toby, age 6, (kindergarten).

You Rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!See Yah
Hi Natasha,I listened to Another story tonight!
u rock bye bye!
My gosh your voice has a good flavor. My skin has a good flavor to it taste I don’t know like a Candy Cane I guess thats why my mom named that but how does she know though did she lick me
How come no one else has mentioned that you look a lot like American actress Angelina Jolie? You are gorgeous and obviously so talented and intelligent.
My children and I love your stories and your voice. We have been falling asleep to your words each night for the past 6 months.
Putting together these stories and the website must have been a tremendous amount of work! I hope you are discovered by the entertainment industry and become the big celebrity to the rest of the world that you already are at our house!
It’s very nice.. Thank you…
I love you:
I’m from Russia. I have learnt English by myself for 5 years yet, but I’m still not very good at it. Earlier I tried to find audio-books on the Internet but for them I had to pay. It’s a problem for me. Recently, by tutoring a pupil, I tried again and I was glad to find so excellent narration. I felt it is a British Accent, but after going at this page I found I was right, and I also found you look nice as well. I hope you don’t only please us but have something for yourself.
Best wishes.

Hi,
My son Aarnav (4 1/2) and me are your fans. Oh what a relief to have you for almost an year now and these days Aarnav doesn’t even let his IPOD move away when he is eating his breakfast, doing his class work, dinner and sleep time. Basically like Natasha, when he is not at school or playground he is with the stories. Thanks for that wonderful Indian story, hope you will do more of that series.
Your voice is cho choweeet! and your narration is great. Love your work. Keep up the good work.
Cheers!
Krish & Aarnav
Fremont, Califoria.
Dear Krish & Aarnav - we are so pleased that you like our stories so much. We are planning more Indian stories - and they will be something a bit more ambitious than usual - but they are going to take a little while to get ready.
hello Bertie,
Tonight I listened to 7 of your stories(most of them were new).Bertie? will you please ask Natasha when the next Prince Bertie the Frog story is coming out.since Bertie’s Double came out I’ve been dying to here the next one! They are getting so much more exiting!
Thank you so much,
Lauren
Dear Lauren
I’m so please that you like the Bertie Stories. There will be another Bertie Story soon. We’re just working on it. But we can’t say exactly when it will be until it’s ready.
Hi Lauren
By the way, the next Bertie Story will be called Bertie and the Lion and I think it will be ready within the next two weeks.
thank you so much for telling me i just herd to it and i think its great.
good job!
hi Bertie
I’m really interested in princess Beatrice and you turning into a frog so i don’t want to be nosey but i would love to know when the next Bertie and Beatrice will be out
Dear Lauren
sorry to keep you waiting. I am not quite sure yet when the next episode of Bertie and Beatrice will be. We thought we might feature one of the other creatures first like Tim or Colin.
Many Thanks for your super story telling, My Five year old son will not go to sleep until he hears your voice reading one of your stories,
Tonight he has decided that I should marry you ! For him thats a big step as when or if I were to remarry it was always to be one of Dr Who’s companions.
The wonderful mind of a young child.
Natasha, I’m 9 years old and my sister Maya is 6, we love to listen to Storynory on the way to school. My dad has all your stories in his iPod and we listen to them in his car. We live in Minsk, Belarus and we might be the only once who listen to your stories here…
Thank you very much,
Yan

from Lauren,Alice & Grace
Dear Lauren, Alice & Grace,
Yes it is true that we have a new story every week,usually on Sunday.
I know that everyone is excited about when I’m going to turn back into a Prince. But it’s one of those sagas that keeps going on and on…
There will be another Bertie Story in the next few weeks, but I really don’t know when we will find out the end of the story.
I’m sorry to keep you in suspense.
your voice is very interesting. I use it to teach my students in the classroom. they are very interested with it. i do hope that i could get your email address.keep doing your great work Natasya.
i love voice and stories
