For this sleepy reading we finish off the early 20th century work by Arthur Elson. Learn how changing society meant that more women were active in music careers all around he world and which composers were contemporary with the publication of this book in 1903.

 

The book finishes early and I have a few poetry readings from the Patreon in the end to help you fall asleep.

Lizzie Bennet continues to read letters from Mr Darcy and comes to terms with unpleasant truths about the ‘wonderful’ Mr Wickham. She also faces up to the problems with her own family that Darcy brought up and realizes that her own family may not be the social paragons she believed.

But I’m sure you will be asleep before she faces the truth on facing her own family again.

Take a slow, deep breath, settle under the covers, and let the stresses of your day quietly drift away. 

In tonight’s soothing bedtime reading from Dorothy Mills' The Book of the Ancient Greeks, we gently explore the calm world of classical antiquity. We begin along the sunlit waters of the Piraeus harbour, following the steady rhythm of Athenian sea trade, before stepping indoors to wander through the quiet domestic routines of ancient society—from the soft-spoken pastimes of Athenian gentlemen to the peaceful sanctuary of the home. 

Designed to give your busy mind a calm, gentle place to rest, this quiet historical tale offers just enough detail to distract you from the day without keeping you awake. Adjust your pillows, relax your shoulders, and sleep well.

Tonight on Sleepy Time Tales, we continue our slow, gentle journey through Louisa May Alcott's Little Women—and as always, nothing too exciting will happen.

 

Mr. March has finally returned home after his long absence, and the household settles back into its quiet rhythm. He and Beth are both recovering from their illnesses, which mostly involves a great deal of resting, sitting quietly by the fire, and eating nourishing food. There is very little dialogue and even less action.

 

Meanwhile, Meg finds herself the subject of some mild attention from Mr. Brooke—though it's all very proper, very subdued, and handled with the kind of polite awkwardness that is far more tedious than thrilling. The family discusses it in hushed, measured tones, and eventually everyone agrees that things are working out quite nicely, thank you very much.

The chapter winds down with the March family gathered together, content and safe, as the fire crackles softly in the hearth. It is, in short, a perfectly pleasant and deeply unremarkable ending to a long day.

 

So get comfortable, pull up your covers, and let the soft, unhurried rhythms of 19th-century domestic life carry you gently toward sleep. There are no surprises here—only warmth, rest, and the quiet hum of a household at peace.

Can’t sleep? Tonight, let’s travel back in time for a relaxing bedtime story as we read "Roughing It" by Mark Twain. Written in 1872, this classic travel memoir follows a young Mark Twain as he journeys by stagecoach across the United States to Nevada.

While the original tale is full of humor, frontier adventure, and pioneer history, it is read tonight in a calm, monotonous tone designed to help you relax, decompress, and drift off into a deep, peaceful sleep. (You might even catch me struggling to decide on the proper pronunciation of "Nevada" along the way!)

Whether you suffer from insomnia, mind-racing, or just need a soothing voice to help you unwind after a long day, close your eyes and let this boring bedtime story help you fall asleep fast.

Tonight, let the gentle world of nature carry you into a deep, restful sleep. In this episode, we are pairing the soft, rhythmic prose of two classic nature books to help your mind unwind and release the day. 

We begin with an evening reading from Mary Howitt’s Birds and Their Nests, focusing on the clever architectures of magpies and the quiet, industrious habits of nuthatches. From there, we drift into the calming, nostalgic pages of Neltje Blanchan’s Bird Neighbors, moving slowly through its thoughtful introduction and foreword.

Anne of Green Gables by L. M. Montgomery – Tantrums, Tears and Joy

Get ready to drift off to sleep tonight with a gentle journey back to the quiet, sun-drenched hills of Avonlea. In this sleepy reading of Anne of Green Gables, we follow our imaginative young friend Anne as she overflows with breathless anticipation for her very first Sunday school picnic—and her long-awaited taste of real ice cream. 

However, the peaceful summer days at Green Gables take a dramatic turn when Marilla’s prized amethyst brooch mysteriously goes missing, casting a shadow of doubt and tears over the little east gable room. But don't worry, dear listener—misunderstandings are softly cleared away, the shadows pass, and our evening ends in pure, restful joy. 

Unwind, let your shoulders drop, and let the comforting world of Prince Edward Island carry you off into a deep, peaceful sleep.

We come to the end of what is probably Ralph Waldo Emerson’s most well known work. His meditation on nature and science.

But there isn’t much left, so in case you haven’t gone to sleep by that point I start a whole collection of his essays. Although I don’t finish the introduction to that tonight.

It starts with Mr Darcy confessing his love to her and take a turn when she rejects him because of his interference in the romances of the Bennet sisters and his general unpleasantness, so he defends himself petulantly and leaves.

 The next day while out walking he gives her a letter with the truth behind his actions, and while he still a rude and unpleasant person maybe he isn’t quite the villain he appears?

The room is filled with muted conversation. The air is still. It’s time for Sleepy Time Tales. Tonight, we're immersed in a small, intimate scene from Virginia Woolf’s Night & Day, where Mary Datchet navigates the complexities of her Suffrage work. A visit from Katharine Hilbery introduces a new element, followed by an unsettling arrival – Ralph Denham. Let this slow, detailed account wash over you… perfect for finding peace and quiet before sleep.

“Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and let Sleepy Time Tales carry you away. Tonight's episode is a slow, deliberate reading from Charles Mackay’s Memoirs of Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds. Mackay explores a curious chapter of human history: the widespread belief that objects associated with death and power – the remains of executed individuals, locks of criminals’ hair, even fragments of Napoleon Bonaparte's table settings - held genuine magical properties. The reading traces the stories of these sought-after mementos, focusing on the quiet desperation and strange beliefs surrounding their acquisition, and how destructive their collection could be. Let the details wash over you… a soothing balm for a restless mind.”

**Hi friends, hopefully the last of these updates and reposts. I am clearing up nicely. I’m getting started on a new series of recordings over the weekend and a fresh episode will drop next week.

Thanks for the patience, sleep well.

Dave**

In this episode the long boring recitation of many of the Italian masters of painting will help you fall asleep.

It’s actually quite interesting stuff, just fairly dry, especially the way I red it! 😊

Sleep well!

**Hi Friends, it’s me again. Turns out Swine Flu is quite bad, zero stars, do not recommend.

I’m actually mostly fine, I just have a stubborn cough which means my breathing is struggling and my throat is sore most of the time.

Obviously, this makes recording impossible, but I’m hoping that in the course of the next week I can start again and get some fresh snoozy stories out to you all.

Thanks very much for your patience, I’m very grateful.

Chat soon

As you settle down to sleep get prepared for the boring details of the activity of the sun, how it was believed in the 1920s how sunspots were formed, the mechanism of how the sun works, and also learn about he inner planets. Even Vulcan, which for a while was speculated to exist closer to the sun than Mercury!

Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season, see you in the new year.

Hi friends. A nasty bug has been doing the rounds in my family and hit me just as it was leaving, so I don’t have the voice to be doing any recording. I’m taking this as a sign from the universe and taking a short break, so I will drop some fun readings from this year to enjoy over the holidays.

Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season, see you in the new year.

Dave

 

In this week’s bedtime story, Beth’s illness continues so this reading we follow Amy’s trials staying with Aunt March. The Aunt is s nice lady, although old fashioned and Amy is unhappy. But she finds an ally in the maid.

And back home, mother gets back from visiting father and everyone is glad to see her, although Jo is shocked to find that her parents are happy with a young man’s interest in Meg. But I’m sure you will be well asleep before the excitement.

Hi Friends. Apologies, I've been so busy with work the last few weeks I've been struggling to keep up with recording. Last week was a struggle and this week was just nothappening, but I don't want to leave you sleepless. Here's something from earlier this year.

 In this strange story we pick up with the Duchess and the Empress building worlds with their minds. They then move on to traveling as spirits to our own world.

 I’m fairly sure you’ll be asleep before the strange adventure ends with a court case about Fortune’s treatment of the Dutchess’s husband

Drift off to the gentle rhythm of oars on the Aegean Sea. This quiet reading details the rise of Athens and its powerful navy, slowly recounting the historic defeat of Xerxes not as a clash of battle, but as a distant, soothing story.

Find your most comfortable position, and let the world above the waves gently fade away. Tonight, we are granted a rare and quiet invitation to step aboard the most marvelous vessel ever to sail the deep.

 We descend into the pages of Jules Verne's "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea," where Captain Nemo himself is our soft-spoken guide. He will lead us on a tranquil tour of his legendary submarine, the Nautilus. We will drift through its elegant, silent salons, marvel at the treasures of its museum, and peer into the heart of its ingenious machinery.

 There are no storms or battles here, only the low hum of the engine, the soft glow of electric light, and the calming, measured description of a self-contained world beneath the sea. Let the meticulous details of library shelves, paneled walls, and gleaming brass fittings lull your mind. The gentle rocking of the deep current and the hypnotic recitation of nautical wonders will carry you safely into a restful, dream-filled sleep. So close your eyes, and let the Nautilus take you on a journey to slumber.

As you settle into bed tonight, let your mind drift away from the present and journey back through the sands of time. We travel to the banks of the Nile, to a land of sun-baked brick and imposing stone.

This episode gently reads from the meticulous pages of the "Manual of Egyptian Archaeology," guiding you through the formidable defensive architecture of ancient Egypt. We will speak slowly of massive enclosure walls, of mighty fortresses standing guard at the borders of the empire, and of the clever, timeless designs meant to withstand the ages.

 

Close your eyes, and let the silent, enduring strength of these ancient sentinels watch over you as you drift into peaceful, deep sleep.

Settle in, get comfortable, and let your mind drift back to a time of quiet canals and whispered fortunes. Tonight’s tale is a gentle recounting of a most peculiar chapter in history, drawn from the pages of Charles Mackay's "Memoirs of Extraordinary Popular Delusions."

 We'll wander through the lush gardens of the 17th century Netherlands, where a simple, beautiful flower—the tulip—captivated an entire nation. We'll speak of rare, flamed petals with names like 'Semper Augustus' and 'Viceroy,' and hear of a world where a single bulb could be traded for a grand house on the Amsterdam canals.

 There will be no frantic excitement here, only the soft, rhythmic telling of how markets bloomed and faded, like a flower itself. A story of collective dreams and quiet lessons, all told in a slow, measured pace to ease you into a deep and restful sleep. So close your eyes, and let the history of tulipomania lull you into peaceful slumber.

She then goes to visit with Mr Collins and her friend Charlotte and meets the legendary Lady Catherine De Bourgh she had heard so much about.

Philosophy seems the ideal thing to listen to to help you sleep. I recorded this in the middle of the day and completely zoned out and nearly dozed off so I can barely tell you what the conversation between Socrates and his friends was about.

So I’m confident that the discussion of whether God can create evil, whether children should learn from false fables and ummmm, other stuff will help sleep come for you as quickly as you’d hope.

Tonight’s episode follows the epic clashes between the Goths and the Byzantine Emperor Justinian I—wars that shaped empires, yet now fade into whispers. Told in a slow, soothing voice, this tale of conquest and intrigue becomes a tranquil bedtime story. Close your eyes, and let the past melt into dreams.

 Sleep well.

If you're lying awake tonight, let the slow, droning account of 19th-century steam trains rock you to sleep.

Story (02:41)

If you're lying awake tonight, let the slow, droning account of 19th-century steam trains rock you to sleep. This episode features a particularly unexciting reading from Samuel Sidney's Rides on Railways, where we meander through endless details about engine repairs, rivet counts, and the thrilling scenery of Wolverton's railway workshops.

 Imagine the most monotonous train journey you've ever taken - the kind where the rhythmic clatter of wheels lulls you into a stupor. That's what this is, but without any risk of missing your stop. We'll plod through descriptions of Peterborough's stations, Northampton's coal depots, and other locations so thoroughly described that you'll be snoozing before we reach the second-class carriages.

 There are no surprises here. No dramatic twists. Just the soothing, sleep-inducing recitation of how steam locomotives were maintained in 1851, delivered in a flat, unhurried tone designed to bore even the most dedicated railway enthusiasts into a peaceful slumber.

 Turn down the lights, settle under the covers, and let the dullest train ride of your life carry you off to dreamland.

 (Sleep well, and mind the gap... between consciousness and sleep.)

Step into the quiet aftermath of a gathering where unspoken tensions linger in the air. This week’s Sleepy Time Story brings you Virginia Woolf’s Night and Day.

As the guests depart, the real drama begins—subtle glances, veiled confessions, and the quiet power struggles between men and women take center stage. Let Woolf’s rich prose and keen observations lull you into relaxation as you drift into slumber, wrapped in the elegance of early 20th-century manners and unspoken desires.

Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and let the whispers of post-party revelations carry you away to dreamland. Sweet dreams.

Tonight, drift back in time to the golden sands of Ancient Egypt, where the Nile’s gentle currents shaped lives and homes for both commoners and nobles.

In this soothing episode, we explore the quiet beauty of Egyptian dwellings—from the sunbaked mudbrick houses of workers to the grand villas adorned with lush gardens and cooling courtyards. Discover the clever construction methods that kept these homes cool under the desert sun and the simple, harmonious designs that made them havens of rest.

Let the whispers of archaeologists and the soft rustle of papyrus lull you into a peaceful slumber, dreaming of palm-shaded streets and starry desert skies.

Close your eyes, relax, and let history carry you to sleep…

We pick up this classic bedtime story as things take a bit of a dark turn. Beth is sick with scarlet fever, and it’s touch and go for a while, but don’t let it prevent your sleep. She’s fine in the end.

The family makes some hard choices and their love is tested, but the fever breaks and all is well.

Hi friends. Unfortunately my chest and voice are still wrecked from having the flu so I can’t record anything that people would want to listen to. So here’s the second part of 2023’s Halloween reading.

 

Be warned that traditional Halloween traditions may be a bit disturbing, but I left out the nasty stuff. This spooky episode shouldn’t leave you sleepless.

We continue the exploration of how pagan traditions were subsumed into Christianity, and how even some Christian traditions began to be viewed negatively after this association was created.

We also finish off with a few fun traditions of regions like Brittany as we say goodbye to this particular book.

Sorry friends, back to school time means my daughter has brought home a fun new illness which means I have no voice or energy, so I’m pulling this weird one out of the archive.

Be warned that traditional Halloween traditions may be a bit disturbing, but I left out the nasty stuff. This spooky episode shouldn’t leave you sleepless.

Learn some of the traditions and tales of continental Europe, including the surprising revelation that Britain was considered to be the ‘Land of the Dead’ by communities on the Channel coast of France. As the mysterious land they could see on clear days was otherwise unknown to them.

Learn about how pagan traditions became ‘evil’ and which ones were adopted by Christianity.

A century old Astronomy text book is a fascinating thing. It’s amazing to see what was known 100 years ago, and what was still speculation based on very logical application of physics.

As you fall asleep you will learn about how it was believed the sun produces heat, how long it will continue to shine, and about the structure of the solar system.

The Republic by Plato

This one should help you sleep as we pick up in the middle of a discussion about the morality of representing the negative aspects of the behaviours of the Gods. And then it moves in to whether actors should be allowed to pretend.

It’s all confusing and self-indulgent so I’m sure this will be the recipe to a night’s rest.

REPOST - Our Mutual Friend by Charles Dickens

As the year draws to a close and we keep occupied with holiday celebration and organising we are replaying an older episode from 2022.

I keep life away from Sleepy Time Tales, as it’s intended as a refuge and respite, but I do want to acknowledge that for me, and many others, it’s been a rough year. Although for me it has also seen a lot of growth, change and joy.

For others the year has been short of joy and the future may seem a bit dark. But with love, respect and community we can face the challenges ahead. And I will be here to try help by giving you a good night’s sleep. Because life is a tiny bit easier with rest.

Festive greetings, wishing you all the very, very best.

A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens – Christmas Present to the Future

We pick up for this year’s continuation of A Christmas Carol as Scrooge’s time with the Ghost of Christmas Present starts to come to a close, and things take a dark turn.

The Ghost of Christmas Future is here, and its somewhat macabre as we learn about a mysterious deceased person, the reactions to their passing and see their effects being sold off.

But who is the subject? I’m sure we know, but you will be asleep before learning.

Secrets and Mysteries Help the Sleepless – 152 – Lady Audley’s Secret

Picking up where we left off many months ago, we learn about what the secret is of the new Lady of the Manor. But you will be counting sheep before the secret is revealed.

Story (08:02)

New Merch Store!!

I’ve partnered with TeePublic to setup a new merch store.

But because I’m no visual artist I’m taking advantage of a great TeePublic feature that allows me to share the works of other creators; expose them to my audience, allow their work to be purchased, and receive a small cut myself.

Check out the storefront at https://www.teepublic.com/stores/sleepy-time-tales?ref_id=25247 or go directly to store.sleepytimetales.net or merch.sleepytimetales.net.

I’d also like to issue a call. Any listeners with works up on TeePublic, please feel free to let me know and I’ll look at adding your stuff to my store. No promises, but I do have a few thousand monthly listeners, so that may help give you a boost.

We return to the mysterious world beneath our own as our protagonist, who confusingly share a name with me, continues to look for his wife? Partner? And try reform his kingdom. And while this all sounds strange and exciting early 20th century prose and the way I tell stories won’t keep you from sleeping.

Welcome to one of our Christmas traditions. L. Frank Baum’s home grown fairy tales of the early life of good old Santa. This one does get a bit exciting towards the end, but I’m sure you will be asleep before you get to the big battle.

Also, this is the episode I forgot how to pronounce ‘contribute’ so feel free to have a giggle. 😊
