'Great for settling the mind before bed' - 5* LISTENER REVIEW

Sail away in a wooden shoe on a river of crystal light; lose yourself in memories of a first love sparked by a dragonfly on a July day; and drift off on the lush grass of a giant's garden, filled with the sweet sound of birdsong and the fresh scent of blossom.

Switch off and snuggle down with writing from Leo Tolstoy and Oscar Wilde to Edith Wharton and Lewis Carroll, and find consolation and wonder in other worlds, where all is well and sleep is just a page or two away.

Sweet dreams . . .

The lively way these stories are read is not suitable for bedtime stories. Sure to keep you awake 😂

Style of narration not suited for sleep

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.

Performs purpose perfectly

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

Not what I was expecting

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.

Sound mix terrible
