'A wonderful and beautiful book . . . great for settling the mind before bed' - READER 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 . . .

They're good stories to fall asleep by, but there are no chapters. Each story runs into the next and there's no way of going to a particular story or going back to the start of one you missed because you fell asleep.

The stories in the book are probably nice. But I want something to help me get to sleep, not something dramatic with big changes in volume.

too loud for helping you get to sleep
