Fairy Sleepy: Fall asleep fast

Happy Wednesday, Fairy Sleepers! This week, we return to Scottish fairy tales from The Scottish Fairy Book by Elizabeth W. Grierson. The same author of the Elvin Knight from earlier this season. It's always fun reading Fairy Tales, although this one is about witches and what could be considered some very rowdy GNO of the times and a nod to the detriments of snooping. I hope you enjoy it, and I hope it makes you very Fairy Sleepy! Until next week, goodnight!

Happy Wednesday, Fairy Sleepers! I hope you had a wonderful week! This week's short story is called Ozma and the Wizard from the book of short stories called Little Wizard Stories of Oz, by L. Frank Baum, Illustrated by John R. Neill.
You have, I am sure, heard of the Wizard of Oz and this short story is one of many written after the popularity of the Wonderful Wizard of Oz. I hope it makes you very, Fairy Sleepy! Until next time, goodnight!

Happy Wednesday, Fairy Sleepers! I hope you have had a wonderful week! This week's story is called The Missing Will, written by one of the most prolific detective novelists of all time, and I don't mean Authur Conan Doyle, although he is a very close second. See if you can guess the mystery of the writer and The Missing Will.
 
One side note:  Shameless self-promotion. ;-)

During the intro, I mention that the author grew up near a town called Brixham, England. I honestly had no idea of that fact until I did the research this week, but that is the town my book The Hundred Year Hotel by J A Lambert takes place because I found it so magical when I visited. The Berryhead Hotel in Brixham is the real hotel that inspired the fictional story. If you like Fantasy Fiction and magic, you will enjoy the story and can find it on Amazon. Working on the audiobook now!

If not, no worries! Enjoy tonight's story, and I hope it makes you very Fairy Sleepy! Until next time, goodnight!

Happy Wednesday, Fairy Sleepers! I hope you had a wonderful week! This week's story is written by Herman Melville and called The Piazza from the book of short stories called The Piazza Tales. Melville is perhaps best known for his novel Moby Dick. In this short story, his stream of consciousness takes us across a mountain seeking something magical he spotted from his perch in his piazza. His story reminds us that looks can be deceiving. To chase magic and rainbows is never a bad pursuit so long as we remember that (to quote Shakespeare from The Merchant of Venice) "not all that glistens is gold."  I hope it makes you very, Fairy Sleepy! Until next time, goodnight!

Happy Wednesday, Fairy Sleepers! This week's story is Footprints on the Seashore, written by Nathaniel Hawthorne. The short story is about Hawthorne's musings during a walk on a beach near his hometown of Salem, Massachusetts. Having attended Endicott College in the next town over in Beverly, Mass, I have walked that same beach but could never express what I saw as beautifully as he did. I hope it makes you very, Fairy Sleepy! Enjoy a stroll along the beach, and keep an ear out for next week's story. Thank you so much for all your support. Until next time, goodnight!

Happy Wednesday Fairy Sleepers! I hope you had a wonderful week! This week's story is the Curious Case of Benjamin Button by F. Scott Fitzgerald. The film of the same name won three Oscars in 2008 starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett thus showing the story has stood the test of time. Not to mention The Great Gatsby which is considered one of literature's best-written novels by the same author.
Although Fitzgerald's version of Benjamin Button was a bit different from the film the concept is the same. I hope it makes you very, Fairy Sleepy! Thank you so much for all the downloads and amazing reviews! I appreciate all of you. Enjoy tonight's story and keep an ear out for next week's story. 
Until then, goodnight!

Happy Wednesday, Fairy Sleepers! I had a change of heart in this week's story seeing as my family of Mullan and Murphy was wantin' a bit of the luck of the Irish this St. Pattys Day Week. This week's story is Darby O’Gill and the Leprechaun from the book Darby O’Gill and the Good People written by Herminie Templeton Kavanagh. The Disney movie "Darby O’Gill and the Little People"  with the late, great Sean Connery was released in 1959 and is based on these stories. 
I wish you all the luck of the Irish this week! 
Thank you for all the downloads and support, I appreciate it! Until next week, goodnight!

Happy Wednesday Fairy Sleepers! I hope you had a wonderful week. Tonight's story is from the book Asgard Stories: Tales from Norse Mythology written by Mary H. Foster and Mabel H. Cummings. I have a deep fascination with Norse mythology and am an avid watcher of Vikings and of course the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Loki and Thor's first story may not be the same but interesting nonetheless! History is what is fascinating about these tales passed on from generation to generation.
I may have to do another story along the way since there are many stories of different Gods in this book, especially if you enjoy it. Either way, I hope it makes you very, Fairy Sleepy! Until next time, goodnight!

Happy Wednesday Fairy Sleepers! This week's story is a Welsh Fairy Tale,  called The Lady of the Lake By William Elliot Griffis from 1921. I grew up in New Hope, PA where Washington crossed the Delaware River. I was surrounded by my family history mirroring the author, the intro, and the author's family as well as growing up Welsh and Irish I thought I would try something a bit different. 
Maybe not the most uplifting story but I like to search for stories you have never heard before and I hope it makes you very Fairy Sleepy.
Keep an ear out for next week's story where we travel back to Asgard for Asgard Stories, by Mary H. Foster and Mabel H. Cummings. Vikings, Thor, and Loki! Looking forward to next week! Until next time, goodnight!
