Tales by the Fireside - Bedtime stories and sleep meditation

Tonight, we have another family favourite. A Tale that both adults and children have enjoyed for generations. A story of beauty, confusion, wonder, and upside down, topsy-turvyness. I am proud to present part 1 of Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, as published in 1919.

Part 2 is out now!

Tonight on this All Hallows Eve, I am very excited to bring to you a special Tale for Adults. 

H.P. Lovecraft's Dagon. An author that has been firmly lodged in my mind since I was young.

This is strictly a Tale for Adults, and no younger listeners should download this story.

True to it's time, there are some words, themes and language that are less acceptable nowadays, however I have kept these in and unaltered, in homage to the author.

Tonight, I am pleased to present this special Halloween Tale for Children.

The Old Witch, and Hansel and Gretel, both written by The Brothers Grimm.

Whilst these stories are suitable for children, they are both pretty creepy, so I would suggest parents have a listen before showing their younger kids.
