In tonight's story, we journey into the heart of Oscar Wilde's beloved tale, The Happy Prince. High above the city, a gilded statue watches over the people below, unable to move but filled with compassion. With the help of a kind swallow, the Prince gives away everything he has to bring comfort to the poor and suffering.

This gentle story, filled with kindness, sacrifice, and quiet beauty, is perfect for winding down at the end of the day. Let the timeless words carry you toward sleep and enjoy relaxing music to close your day.

Welcome to Chapter & Pillow: Drift to Sleep with the Classics.

This podcast was created with one simple purpose - to help you unwind. Whether your mind is racing or your day has been long, this is your gentle invitation to slow down, settle in, and let a story help you sleep. I’ve always loved the comfort of a well-told tale, and I want to share that with you.

Tonight's story comes from the pen of Mary E. Wilkins Freeman, a gifted American author best known for her quietly powerful portraits of New England life in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Her writing is filled with simple truths, deep feeling, and a sense of appreciation for life.

So close your eyes, take a deep breath, and let yourself slip into the stillness of storytime. I’m so glad you’re here.

Welcome to the very first episode of Chapter & Pillow: Drift to Sleep with the Classics.

This podcast was created with one simple purpose - to help you unwind. Whether your mind is racing or your day has been long, this is your gentle invitation to slow down, settle in, and let a story help you sleep. I’ve always loved the comfort of a well-told tale, and I want to share that with you.

Tonight’s story is the classic tale, Rip Van Winkle, written by Washington Irving and first published in 1819. Set in a quiet village in the Catskill Mountains, it tells the tale of a kindly but idle man who wanders into the forest and falls into an enchanted sleep, waking twenty years later to find the world very much changed. It’s whimsical, reflective, and perfectly suited for drifting into dreams.

So close your eyes, take a deep breath, and let yourself slip into the stillness of storytime. I’m so glad you’re here.
