Publisher's summary

Bedtime Stories for Stressed Out Adults: Booktrack Edition adds an immersive musical soundtrack to your audiobook listening experience!

Introduced by Lucy Mangan

* * * Tales to soothe tired souls. A night time companion for frazzled adults, including calming stories and poems for a good night's sleep. * * *

This cheering book of best loved short tales, extracts and poems will calm and restore an anxious mind before sleep.

A good night's sleep is essential for our well being and our health, but in our busy lives sleep is often poor and overlooked. Now is the time to stop a while and find consolation and wonder in other worlds where all is well and sleep just a page or two away.

From classic stories by Oscar Wilde, Guy de Maupassant and Katherine Mansfield, to friendly tales of our childhoods, to poetry that reminds us of the simple joys of life, this lovingly curated book will soothe a tired mind and gently carry you to the peaceful land of sleep.

So switch off, snuggle down and allow yourself to escape into new worlds and old; magical, mysterious and tender realms that will accompany you to your own sweet dreams.


Booktrack is an immersive format that pairs traditional audiobook narration to complementary music. The tempo and rhythm of the score are in perfect harmony with the action and characters throughout the audiobook. Gently playing in the background, the music never overpowers or distracts from the narration, so listeners can enjoy every minute. When you purchase this Booktrack edition, you receive the exact narration as the traditional audiobook available, with the addition of music throughout.

The Accents are Soothing

I really wish there were more volumes. The English accents are soothing and helps me fall asleep, which is interesting because I have had insomnia for well over a decade now.

I see quite a few negative reviews, if I may suggest, focus on the accent, not the story while your fan lulls you with white noise in the background. I turn this on, turn my A/C down and snuggle into my pillow under the comforter.

Bedtime Stories

I love theses short but delightful stories. They make for good listening when my mind is racing with worrisome thoughts and I am trying to calm down to go to sleep. Her voice is very soothing.
