  • The East of The Sun And West of The Moon - Old Tales from North | Relaxing Bedtime Story for Sleep
    Mar 21 2026

    Tonight, we travel into a land of deep winter, lonely mountains, and hidden enchantments…into a story where a poor man’s youngest daughter rides into the unknown on the back of a great white bear, and where love must cross forests, winds, and impossible distances before it can find its true home.In this telling of East of the Sun and West of the Moon, we begin in a humble cottage where hardship presses close, and follow the youngest daughter as she makes a choice that changes everything. What begins as sacrifice becomes mystery; what seems like loss becomes a road. From a castle of silver and gold, to a broken promise, to a long search through the wild edges of the world, this is a tale of courage, longing, trust, and the quiet strength of a faithful heart.Narrated in a soft and reflective style, this story is meant to accompany you gently—whether you are resting at the end of the day, driving through the evening, doing chores, or settling into sleep.
