Welcome back, dear listeners!  Tonight I’ll be re-sharing a gentle and enchanting bedtime story by Hans Christian Andersen called The Elderbush. This whimsical tale was first aired in 2023, and I thought it was the perfect time to drift back and enjoy it once more. 

Andersen’s timeless storytelling has such a soothing quality, making this story an ideal companion to help you unwind, relax, and drift off into sweet dreams. So snuggle in, get cozy, and let this dreamy classic carry you softly into rest.

Sweet dreams,
Joanne xo 💜

Music in this episode is 'The Shape of Your Breathing' by Hannah Lindgren via Epidemic Sound
