'Dreamy' STYLIST
'Calm and restore an anxious mind before sleep... the most beautiful book that will, without a doubt, put you in the mood for some ZZZZs.' THE SUN
Tales to soothe tired souls. A nighttime companion for frazzled adults, including calming stories and poems for a good night's sleep. This cheering book of best loved short tales, extracts and poems will calm and restore an anxious mind.
Sleep is essential for our well being and our health, but in our busy lives it is often poor and overlooked. Now is the time to put down your smartphone, stop a while and find consolation and wonder in other worlds where all is well and sleep just a page or two 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 book 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.
'Hurrah for a book that 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
PICKED FOR WORLD BOOK NIGHT 2020

Performs purpose perfectly
I really enjoy the range of stories included; there are exerts from some of my favourite books. Beautifully and soothingly narrated to really calm the mind. It is just what I was looking for. Only issue is I'm personally not a great poetry lover and find these short bursts a little boring. However, they're often less than a minute so I can't complain too much.

Not what I was expecting
The stories are of various lengths and some are a bit too ‘lively’ for bedtime.
I don’t understand why these are stories for stressed out adults because the content does not reflect that at all

Sound mix terrible
Stories are lovely and the narrators are talented but every story goes from so quiet you can't hear it, to so loud it jolts you awake. Found myself constantly changing the volume and losing concentration on both the stories and trying to relax.

Enjoyed listening.
A really eclectic mix of stories and excerpts, some of them took me right back to bedtime as a child. Bound to be something for every listener.

It wakes you up
It’s awful - it’s stressful and it wakes you up. It’s the worst book for sleeping I’ve listened to.
