This evening's relaxing and festive bedtime story is about a tailor (and his cat Simpkin!) rushing to prepare a special Christmas day coat for the mayor of Gloucester.

"The Tailor of Gloucester" by Beatrix Potter is read tonight by our returning special guest Jon! I absolutely loved Jon's telling of the story, and love all the amazing art in Beatrix Potter books as well! I hope this story helps get you in the festive mood, or adds some enjoyment and relaxation to your day.
