Good Evening - it's Hans Christian Andersen again, of course! Little Ida's Flowers.

A fairy tale from 1835 about a girl who wonders why her flowers wilt, leading a student to tell her they're tired from dancing all night at a ball in the king's castle.

Thank you for being here tonight, sleep well!

Tonight, we welcome W.W Jacobs back to Dozing Off with A Love Knot.

This is a humorous short story detailing the courtship of Mr. Nathaniel Clark and Mrs. Bowman, centered on a tense, deliberate game of draughts.

Thanks for being here tonight, sleep well!

No one asked for another Brothers Grimm fairy tale, but when do they ever fail?

Tonight, I've got another beauty and the beast style story, with Snow-White and Rose-Red.

Thank you for being part of the Dozing Off community - sleep well!

We just don't give Charles Dickens the spotlight he needs on Dozing Off, but tonight, that's exactly what we'll do with, "Nobody's Story."

Thank you for being part of the Dozing Off community.

Good evening, welcome back to Dozing Off.

Fall asleep tonight, as we follow the journey of a man, his dog, and Mother-Nature.

Thank you for being part of the Dozing Off community.

Tonight, Hans Christian Andersen is back for another sleep story. He has to be one of the most frequent authors, but his stories are so perfect for us.

The Story of the Year.

Thank you for being here, sleep well!

Tonight for our bedtime story, we introduce Robert Barr to Dozing Off, with his 1897 short story, "Gentlemen, the King!"

Join to follow the fate of the king (if you can make it that long).

Thank you for your continued support to Dozing Off.

Sleep well!

Good evening, I hope you're tired, but not too tired, and ready to enjoy (at least part) of this Lucy Maud Montgomery short story.

Lucy Maud Montgomery's short story "The Life-Book of Uncle Jesse" is about a delightful summer spent with a wise, adventurous old sailor named Uncle Jesse, who shares his seafaring tales and simple wisdom with the narrator and her mother.

Thank you for being part of the Dozing Off community.

Sleep well!

Just like that, this is the final bedtime story of 2025. What a year it's been. I appreciate you for making Dozing Off a part of your bedtime routine. To set up the New Year right, join me as we follow, The Boy Who Borrowed a Perfect Year.

Sleep well, see you next year.

Tonight will be the third and final Christmas story of the year. I appreciate each one of you for being part of the Dozing Off community, and to those that celebrate - Merry Christmas!

Tonight, we will fall asleep to, The Grinch and the Longest Winter Night.

Sleep well!
