Half-Past Bedtime

Half-past Bedtime is a collection of nostalgic, gently rhymed tales that usher listeners into a world where twilight feels like a friendly companion. The opening verses set a sleepy farm scene, with farmer Sun bidding farewell and the moon scattering dreams across the fields. The narrator’s warm, lyrical voice makes the transition from day to night feel both comforting and full of possibility.

The first story follows seven‑year‑old Marian as she wanders from her familiar Peter Street into a tall, whispering meadow. Amid the daisies and buttercups she discovers a tiny stranger, Mr. Jugg, who sparks a series of imaginative adventures that blend everyday chores with magical encounters. Illustrated by the author, each episode is a breezy vignette that celebrates curiosity, simple joys, and the quiet wonder that lives just beyond the garden gate.
