Description

A charming assortment of gentle bedtime tales invites listeners into a world where woodland creatures, mischievous sprites and curious insects share the quiet moments just before night. Each story blends simple wonder with a soft moral, offering a soothing pause that feels perfect for winding down.

In one tale a proud young duck named Dicky meets a crafty fox who pretends to be a timid “Eatyoup,” prompting Dicky to test his own cleverness. Another follows a tiny fairy who slips away from the riverbank’s revel, only to be watched by a nosy goblin eager to report any secret romance. These vignettes sparkle with humor and heart, letting imagination drift along familiar ponds and moonlit streams.

Rendered with delicate illustrations that echo the stories’ lyrical tone, the collection feels like a whispered lullaby for listeners of any age, making it an ideal companion for a calm, cozy night.
