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 Broadway and big-screen star Phillipa Soo reading Chinese fables and folk stories. These traditional tales have a long oral history dating back to the Middle Kingdom of old.

Phillipa Soo originated the role of Eliza Schuyler Hamilton in Broadway’s critically acclaimed Hamilton, which earned her a Tony and an Emmy nomination and a Grammy win. A graduate of Julliard, she is presently playing Guenevere in Aaron Sorkin’s revival of Lerner & Loewe’s Camelot and is starring in the film adaptation of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s novel One True Loves opposite Simu Liu.

Soo currently resides in New York City.

I grew up reading fables and moral-based stories, and now that I'm older learning these same type of stories from other cultures is even better.
The narrator's voice is calming after a long day. The only complaint is I wish there was a different way of separating the stories. It seems each rolls into the next. Perhaps a longer pause before the title?? Still, I love it. Five stars all the way!

Will listen again- very relaxing

so it was so cool hearing her tell stories
All in all super great, and put me asleep right away

Unique selection of folk stories and a good reader, but the stories are so interesting they aren’t especially relaxing. The stories also discuss a lot of violence (including infanticide and beheadings), so not for little kids.

Cool stories, but violent

Beautifully read and each teaches a truth. Wish the current rulers would listen and learn as we should. Excellent but not read at bedtime though peaceful. They should be read and remembered.

I used to read many folk tales and fables from all over and these are bringing up many good memories. I like that there is no Disneyfication or cutesy-ness.

I love these stories

I loved these stories! The moral they teach is wonderful! More people should listen and learn about co-existing, respecting and understand one another while on this planet.
I highly recommended it!

Listen and learn!
