About this listen

Our Bedtime Stories are designed to let you drift off with no nagging feeling that you need to listen through to the end. Their purpose is to let you slowly fall into peaceful, restful sleep.

With that in mind, we present actor Brian Cox—Golden Globe winner for his portrayal of media tycoon Logan Roy in HBO’s Succession—returning to his Scottish roots with these evocative tales from the Scottish Highlands.

Brian Cox, born in Dundee, Scotland, has worked with the Royal Shakespeare Company and the Royal National Theater extensively, where he gained recognition for his portrayal of King Lear. He played supporting roles in Rob Roy (1995) and in Mel Gibson’s Academy Award-winning Braveheart (1995). A winner of two Olivier Awards, a Primetime Emmy Award, and a Golden Globe Award, he was appointed to the Order of the British Empire at the rank of Commander.

Im interested in finding out about highland folklore, but I am none the wiser after listening to this meandering meditation. I always fall asleep a few minutes in.

Fit for purpose

I love myth and folklore. This book though seemed to be pretty shallow merely wafting over details without really digging any claws in. Could have been a lot beefier and is a seeming waste of the brilliant Brian Cox's talent. His voice is perfect for audio books. Up there with Freeman, Neeson and and Earl-Jones.

A little off with the fairies

Fascinating

Loved it. So intriguing and disconcerting. Fairies and elves have always disturbed me. Now I know why. Must be the Scottish blood far in our family background responding. Magnificent reading.

Creepy in the best way

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The facts presented were interesting but the reader’s voice was monotone without any inflection. The headings were read in the same voice therefore missed.
