Welcome back friends! Tonight we will get sleepy with The Bee and the Orange Tree, an enchanting bedtime story for sleep by the French author Marie-Catherine d'Aulnoy, written way back in the seventeenth century. It's a story full of magic, wonder, and the kind of gentle adventure that's perfect for winding down.

This is Part One of Two, so get yourself cozy, take a slow breath, and let the day drift away. Sweet dreams!

Music in this episode is 'Lakeside' by Harbours & Oceans via Epidemic Sound
