UNCLE LEO'S ADVENTURES IN THE ROMANIAN STEPPES

Andy thinks that Uncle Leo's Adventures are true, but his brother Graham says they are all tall tales. The frame story focuses on the two brothers' conflict and the power of stories in our lives, whether true or imaginative.

Uncle Leo, a modern incarnation of Baron Munchausen, is not an ordinary uncle. He is the uncle who tells stories, and the stories themselves are extraordinary too: Leo gets stuck on a cloud, visits the land of chocolate, turns into cheese, even becomes a cockroach - and that's just the beginning!

Every Wednesday Uncle Leo visits his two nephews and tells them about his incredible adventures in faraway lands that cannot be found on any map.

All Uncle Leo's stories are inspired by the kids' daily conflicts and challenges and are Leo's way of helping them deal with real life issues. Join Uncle Leo on his hilarious adventures and you will find treasure, meet giants, fight demons while also learning how important stories, imagination and creativity are in our lives.
