When Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm published their Children's and Household Tales in 1812, followed by a second volume in 1815, they had no idea that such stories as "Rapunzel", "Hansel and Gretel", and "Cinderella" would become the most celebrated in the world. Yet few people today are familiar with the majority of tales from the two early volumes, since in the next four decades the Grimms would publish six other editions, each extensively revised in content and style.

Story
A member of the landed gentry, with a seemingly guaranteed income from his estate in the country, Oblomov lives in Petersburg, uninterested in the business that provides his living and barely aware that the revenue is diminishing. Not that he leads a dissolute life of extravagance, balls and entertainment. Instead he is a dreamer, a sybarite, content above all to spend most of the day supine, in bed. The novel opens with Oblomov thus ensconced, attended only by his dirty, grumbling, indolent servant Zahar, who has looked after him since childhood, catering to his every need.

Skip the Intro
This is a good collection of classic stories but the introduction is terrible. It has the opportunity to be good as it starts off talking about how peacefully children sleep but then it talks about all the reasons you can't sleep, which only serves to remind you of why you can't sleep. Skip it and head to the stories themselves and you'll be out before you can say Wikem, Blinkem and Nod.

False advertising. Don't rely on it to relax.
Not recommended for insomniacs. Fell asleep happily and peacefully in Chapter 4 about the time the trolls were defeated, slipped neatly into deep dream heaven for Goethe, and shot to instant, alarmed wakefulness at the growling, shouting giant's gruff outburst. Nearly jumped out of my skin. Not funny.

I was really excited for this title and I had high hopes, but I couldn't make it past a few stories.
The stories themselves are good, but not for bedtime. The delivery pace and tone isn't calming. It left me more stressed than when I began playing the title
