THE PERFECT NIGHTTIME READ - DESIGNED TO CALM YOUR MIND FOR A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP

*Introduced by Lucy Mangan* Recommended by RED magazine *

'Dreamy' STYLIST
'Calm and restore an anxious mind before sleep... the most beautiful book that will, without a doubt, put you in the mood for some ZZZZs.' THE SUN

Tales to soothe tired souls. A nighttime companion for frazzled adults, including calming stories and poems for a good night's sleep. This cheering book of best loved short tales, extracts and poems will calm and restore an anxious mind.

Sleep is essential for our well being and our health, but in our busy lives it is often poor and overlooked. Now is the time to put down your smartphone, stop a while and find consolation and wonder in other worlds where all is well and sleep just a page or two away.

From classic stories by Oscar Wilde, Guy de Maupassant and Katherine Mansfield, to friendly tales of our childhoods and poetry that reminds us of the simple joys of life, this lovingly curated book will soothe a tired mind and gently carry you to the peaceful land of sleep.

So switch off, snuggle down and allow yourself to escape into new worlds and old; magical, mysterious and tender realms that will accompany you to your own sweet dreams.

'Hurrah for a book that draws us away from the cold blue light of the smart phone and into the soothing glow of poems, short stories and extracts' THE SIMPLE THINGS©2018 Hodder & Stoughton Limited (P)2018 Hodder & Stoughton Limited

Featured Article: The Best Listens to Help You Fall Asleep and Wake Up Refreshed


Sleep. On one hand, it’s about eight hours between you and all of the goals you need to accomplish, which can feel like a bit of a bummer. But on the other, you need sleep to be well-rested and clearheaded enough to achieve those goals. Verdict? Sleep wins. Ranging from audiobooks on the science of sleep and meditation to calming bedtime listens to lull you into slumber, these selections will help you find a new nighttime routine.

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.

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.

False advertising. Don't rely on it to relax.

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

I'm more stressed after listening

This is a fun little audiobook to just forget and relax when the time comes to go to bed. Makes me smile and just drift off to sleep. One of my favorites so far!

Love it

This book actually ratcheted up my cortisol levels before bed- every story was about something stressful. Kept me up at night.

Thought this was meant to help de-stress stressed out adults before bed…
