About this listen

 Start your nighttime journey with a cozy bedtime story, calming breathing cues, and the hum of a country highway. Then, from a distant AM radio, listen to two gentle stories by Nathaniel Hawthorne. In The Old Apple Dealer, a quiet reflection on aging and perseverance unfolds through the image of a man selling apples on the street. In The Snow-Image, two children build a magical figure from snow—only for their wonder to be met with adult skepticism. These softly narrated tales are perfect for easing anxiety and inviting a restful bedtime routine.
