What to expect
Introduced by Lucy Mangan
Put down your smartphone and unwind, with this nighttime collection of calming stories and poems. These beloved short tales, extracts and poems will calm and restore an anxious mind ready for sleep.
Sleep is essential for our wellbeing and our health, but in our busy lives it is often poor and overlooked. Now is the time to stop a while and find consolation and wonder in other worlds where all is well and sleep just a few minutes of listening away.
From classic stories by Oscar Wilde, Guy de Maupassant and Katherine Mansfield, to friendly tales of our childhoods and poetry that reminds us of the simple joys of life, this lovingly curated collection will soothe a tired mind and gently carry you to the peaceful land of sleep.
So switch off, snuggle down and allow yourself to escape into new worlds and old; magical, mysterious and tender realms that will accompany you to your own sweet dreams.
Praise for Bedtime Stories:
'Draws us away from the cold blue light of the smart phone and into the soothing glow of poems, short stories and extracts' THE SIMPLE THINGS
'The most beautiful book that will, without a doubt, put you in the mood for some ZZZZs.' THE SUN
