Synopsis

The dreamiest listen for anyone struggling with sleep: over 100,000 copies sold.

'Great for settling the mind before bed' - 5* LISTENER REVIEW

Sail away in a wooden shoe on a river of crystal light; lose yourself in memories of a first love sparked by a dragonfly on a July day; and drift off on the lush grass of a giant's garden, filled with the sweet sound of birdsong and the fresh scent of blossom.

Switch off and snuggle down with writing from Leo Tolstoy and Oscar Wilde to Edith Wharton and Lewis Carroll, and find consolation and wonder in other worlds, where all is well and sleep is just a page or two away.

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

'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

With an introduction by Lucy Mangan.

I'm very confused as to why this says 'expected release date 2019' when I bought it in a bookshop and have finished it? Anyway, I don't really know what to say. A) it served its purpose as in I read 1 to 2 stories per night before going to sleep and definitely slept well afterwards. B) there is a wi......more

Goodreads review by Abbie on June 20, 2021

I absolutely loved the idea behind this book. It had a beautiful cover and beautiful intentions, with such a great sounding title and premise, but just didn’t quite deliver in the way I wanted it to. I really did love the time I spent reading this just before bed, tucked up with a cup of herbal tea,......more
