We're on a little binge this month listening to Chapter One of some of the greatest stories of all time. As always, curl up tonight with peaceful music and natural evening sounds as we enjoy Chapter One of The Great Gatsby.

Fully family appropriate tonight, enjoy Chapter One of the original Winnie the Pooh by A.A. Milne created for his son, Christopher Robin Milne. Complete with peaceful bedtime story worthy music and ambiance.

Join me tonight for part two of Morgan Elektra's (author of Big Teeth and All Eyes on Him) short story "The Last Thing on the List" complete with peaceful music and ambiance.

This young adult tale is tense and heart felt. Please note that it does contain adult language and is not meant to be a childrens' tale.

I'm so excited to share a short story by Morgan Elektra (author of Big Teeth) this week and next. Of course, complete with peaceful music, this very relatable slightly tense modern tale comes to us in two parts.

I very much enjoyed sifting through the mental load as five friends follow through on a childhood adventure while coming to terms with that important next step of adulthood.

Also featured at the beginning of tonight's episode is the retail sample of Big Teeth by Morgan Elektra available here.

As always, I like to share my latest audiobooks. Spooky enthusiasts will enjoy this one. It's a very cool Sexy-Red-Riding -Hood. I absolutely had a ball reading this one!

Big Teeth by Morgan Elektra AUDIOBOOK

Tonight enjoy the second half of The Little Mermaid written in 1836 by Hans Christian Anderson. Complete with peaceful music to fall asleep to, this isn't exactly the story we're all familiar with.

Tonight enjoy the original tale of The Little Mermaid written in 1836. Long before the red headed beauty that collects forks and sings with crabs...long LONG before...comes this slightly darker tale about our place in this world, our voice in this world, and more. Darker yes, but still a fun listen for our family listeners.

First published in 1823 in The Troy Sentinel, intrigue follows this poem as there are long-held debates as to its true origin.

This special episode also includes two separate versions of "The Night After Christmas". The first by Dr. Robert Archer (1866). The second published anonymously in Dear Santa Claus: Charming Holiday Stories for Boys and Girls (1901)

As always, tonight's stories are wrapped up in beautiful tones and the sounds of holiday evenings to help you find your much needed sleep.

Enjoy this one-episode mystery by one of our favorites complete with lovely "falling asleep" music and the crystal clear sounds of nature after dark.
