    Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen Part 10

    As you settle down to sleep tonight, I will be continuing the story of Lizzie Bennet. It starts with Mr Darcy confessing his love to her and take a turn when she rejects him because of his interference in the romances of the Bennet sisters and his general unpleasantness, so he defends himself petulantly and leaves.  The next day while out walking he gives her a letter with the truth behind his actions, and while he still a rude and unpleasant person maybe he isn’t quite the villain he appears?  Find Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/1342    Supporting Sleepy Time Tales If you would like to support my work and help keep the podcast available and for free, there are several ways you can support the show. ·        You can support the show as a supporter on Patreon and receive a host of bonuses including Patron only episodes and special edits https://www.patreon.com/sleepytimetales ·        If you’re enjoying Sleepy Time Tales and would like to make a financial contribution, but would rather not commit to a monthly payment then you can throw a tip in the jar at https://ko-fi.com/sleepytimetales PatreonSleep Tight Patrons JessChuckRobertaTraciCarlaAYAmyJacqueAbbieGinaJenniferJYMindyNancyChristyneKreesti Please ShareIf you’re enjoying the show, and finding it helps you sleep despite the stresses and strains of your life, the absolute best thing you can do is share it with your friends, families, acquaintances, cellmates etc. Anyone who needs a good night’s sleep might benefit.

    Night and Day by Virginia Woolf - 06

    The room is filled with muted conversation. The air is still. It’s time for Sleepy Time Tales. Tonight, we're immersed in a small, intimate scene from Virginia Woolf’s Night & Day, where Mary Datchet navigates the complexities of her Suffrage work. A visit from Katharine Hilbery introduces a new element, followed by an unsettling arrival – Ralph Denham.

    Memoirs of Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds Part 09

    “Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and let Sleepy Time Tales carry you away. Tonight's episode is a slow, deliberate reading from Charles Mackay’s Memoirs of Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds. Mackay explores a curious chapter of human history: the widespread belief that objects associated with death and power – the remains of executed individuals, locks of criminals’ hair, even fragments of Napoleon Bonaparte's table settings - held genuine magical properties. The reading traces the stories of these sought-after mementos, focusing on the quiet desperation and strange beliefs surrounding their acquisition, and how destructive their collection could be. Let the details wash over you… a soothing balm for a restless mind.” Find Memoirs of Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds by Charles Mackay https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/24518 Supporting Sleepy Time TalesIf you would like to support my work and help keep the podcast available and for free, there are several ways you can support the show. ·        You can support the show as a supporter on Patreon and receive a host of bonuses including Patron only episodes and special edits https://www.patreon.com/sleepytimetales ·        If you’re enjoying Sleepy Time Tales and would like to make a financial contribution, but would rather not commit to a monthly payment then you can throw a tip in the jar at https://ko-fi.com/sleepytimetales Patreon Sleep Tight Patrons JessChuckMystiRobertaTraciMoyaSandraCarlaJosephAYAmyJacqueAbbieGinaChristyne Please ShareIf you’re enjoying the show, and finding it helps you sleep despite the stresses and strains of your life, the absolute best thing you can do is share it with your friends, families, acquaintances, cellmates etc. Anyone who needs a good night’s sleep might benefit.
