  • Tonight, let the gentle world of nature carry you into a deep, restful sleep. In this episode, we are pairing the soft, rhythmic prose of two classic nature books to help your mind unwind and release the day.

    We begin with an evening reading from Mary Howitt’s Birds and Their Nests, focusing on the clever architectures of magpies and the quiet, industrious habits of nuthatches. From there, we drift into the calming, nostalgic pages of Neltje Blanchan’s Bird Neighbors, moving slowly through its thoughtful introduction and foreword.

  • Anne of Green Gables by L. M. Montgomery – Tantrums, Tears and Joy

    Get ready to drift off to sleep tonight with a gentle journey back to the quiet, sun-drenched hills of Avonlea. In this sleepy reading of Anne of Green Gables, we follow our imaginative young friend Anne as she overflows with breathless anticipation for her very first Sunday school picnic—and her long-awaited taste of real ice cream.

    However, the peaceful summer days at Green Gables take a dramatic turn when Marilla’s prized amethyst brooch mysteriously goes missing, casting a shadow of doubt and tears over the little east gable room. But don't worry, dear listener—misunderstandings are softly cleared away, the shadows pass, and our evening ends in pure, restful joy.

    Unwind, let your shoulders drop, and let the comforting world of Prince Edward Island carry you off into a deep, peaceful sleep.

  • “Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and let Sleepy Time Tales carry you away. Tonight's episode is a slow, deliberate reading from Charles Mackay’s Memoirs of Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds. Mackay explores a curious chapter of human history: the widespread belief that objects associated with death and power – the remains of executed individuals, locks of criminals’ hair, even fragments of Napoleon Bonaparte's table settings - held genuine magical properties. The reading traces the stories of these sought-after mementos, focusing on the quiet desperation and strange beliefs surrounding their acquisition, and how destructive their collection could be. Let the details wash over you… a soothing balm for a restless mind.”

  • In this week’s boring reading to help you sleep it’s time to learn about the rise of Athens as a superpower among the Greeks. You will also learn about the Athenian and Greek household and their attitudes to wealth.

    It could be quite interesting, but not at bedtime and not the way I tell it.
