About this listen

Audible's 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.

Gabriel, the devoted keeper of The Village Bookshop, tends to his shelves with quiet reverence, knowing that books are more than ink and paper—they’re lanterns in dark places, stories waiting to be found. And then there’s Poe, the bookshop’s enigmatic, ink-black cat. More than a companion, she’s the shop’s silent guardian, watching over it as if she alone understands its quiet magic. Those who step inside may not always know what they’re searching for, but in this shop, books have a way of finding their readers.
