    Books at Bedtime By Calming Anxiety - The Whirlpool - By Lord Dunsany

    The Whirlpool by Lord Dunsany — A Dreamlike Sea Fable of the Happy Isles for Sleep & Insomnia | Books at Bedtime   Drift off with The Whirlpool by Lord Dunsany, a short, dreamlike fantasy of the sea, ancient gods and the Happy Isles, read aloud by Martin Hewlett on Books at Bedtime, the sleep story series from Calming Anxiety.   Going down one day to the shore of the great sea, our storyteller comes upon the Whirlpool himself, lying on the sand and stretching his huge limbs in the sun. "Who art thou?" he asks. And the giant tells his tale.   For a hundred years at a time, he stands on the ocean floor, midway between two cliffs, guarding the straits against every ship that seeks the further seas. He takes the waters in both hands and whirls them around his head, as the tall ships come gliding on with their sailors singing. In their last cry he hears all their songs and hopes and loves, and even the wind in the forests where their timbers grew.   But once in every hundred years, for one day only, he rests on the shore and leaves the straits unguarded. Then the ships may sail through and find the Happy Isles, where no time comes with its devouring hours, and where the sailors long for nothing. It's a place of sunlit seas and orchards high on the hills, where the souls of the sailors return every night to rest while they sleep. And why must the Whirlpool go back at sunset? Dunsany keeps his answer for the very last line.   This classic short story for adults is a rich, atmospheric wind-down for a busy mind, with the rhythm of the sea, Dunsany's mythic, almost biblical prose and Martin's calm, unhurried narration. It has a sad, serious edge beneath its beauty, and it's a fine sleep audiobook for fantasy lovers and for anyone with insomnia who finds it hard to switch off at night.   If you enjoyed it, you'll find more Lord Dunsany on Books at Bedtime, including On the Dry Land from the same collection, along with How the Enemy Came to Thlunrana and Alone the Immortals.   The Whirlpool was first published in The Sword of Welleran and Other Stories (London: George Allen & Sons, 1908). Lord Dunsany (1878–1957).   Hosted by clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic Martin Hewlett.   📱 Listen to Books at Bedtime in the Anchored app, offline and with the screen off, so you can fall asleep without a bright phone in your hand:   iPhone: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/anchored-panic-anxiety/id6785035669   Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.martinhewlett.anchored   🧡 For Martin's calming tips, visit: https://calminganxiety.org/calm   🌱 Try Thole, Martin's new health and wellness app, in beta on iPhone: https://testflight.apple.com/join/aUKB8W7N   Sleep well, my friend.

    Books at Bedtime By Calming Anxiety - On The Dry Land - By Lord Dunsany

    On the Dry Land by Lord Dunsany — A Gentle Short Fable of Love & Old Age for Sleep & Insomnia | Books at Bedtime   Drift off with On the Dry Land by Lord Dunsany, a short, tender and beautifully written fable about love and a long life, read aloud by Martin Hewlett on Books at Bedtime, the sleep story series from Calming Anxiety.   The gorgeous night hangs over the marshes, with all its wandering bands of nomad stars, and the first pale light of dawn is rising in the east. For many years, Love has led a man up and down through those perilous marshes. Now, as they reach the safety of dry land at last, Love looks at his companion and sees in the dawn light that his hair has turned white.   The old man sits down wearily on the grass, and Love tells him, "I will leave you now." The old man makes no answer, and only weeps softly. So Love, grieved in his careless little heart, tries to comfort him the only way he knows, by telling him that he was never worth missing at all. He is foolish, he says, and cruel, and the old man will be far better off without him. And still the old man weeps. What Love says next, and who comes up out of the marshes as the morning grows, Dunsany saves for the closing lines.   This classic short story for adults is a soft, reflective wind-down for a busy mind, with Dunsany's rich, musical prose, its quiet images of night and dawn and Martin's calm, unhurried narration. It's a lovely, peaceful sleep audiobook for anyone who finds themselves looking back on the years as they lie awake, or who finds it hard to switch off at night.   If you enjoyed it, you'll find more Lord Dunsany on Books at Bedtime, including Alone the Immortals, The Hen and How the Enemy Came to Thlunrana.   On the Dry Land was first published in The Sword of Welleran and Other Stories (London: George Allen & Sons, 1908).

    Lobster Salad by Lord Dunsany — A Funny Short Fantasy Story for Sleep & Insomnia | Books at Bedtime   Drift off with Lobster Salad by Lord Dunsany, a wry and thrilling little fantasy about a very bad dream, read aloud by Martin Hewlett on Books at Bedtime, the sleep story series from Calming Anxiety.   Our narrator is climbing the perilous outside of a vast white palace, high above the craggy tops of the mountains. There are no battlements or terraces to rest on, only the sheer face of the wall, and he is dressed in a night-shirt and stout leather boots. His fingers and wrists are aching, and he dares not look down.   That the whole thing is a dream, he admits, is beside the point. We have all fallen in dreams before, and it is well known that if you ever hit the ground, you die. Every boulder on the wall has its own different terror, and something is following close behind him. Then he comes to a great gap in the wall that he cannot cross, and he has one last, desperate idea. As for that curious title, Dunsany lets you work it out for yourself.   This classic short story for adults is a playful wind-down for a busy mind, with Dunsany's dreamlike prose, his dry humour and Martin's calm, unhurried narration. If you've ever woken from a nightmare with your heart racing, you'll smile at this one. It's an ideal short sleep audiobook for fantasy lovers and for anyone with insomnia who finds it hard to switch off at night.   If you enjoyed it, you'll find more Lord Dunsany on Books at Bedtime, including How the Enemy Came to Thlunrana, The Hen and The True History of the Hare and the Tortoise, all from the same collection.   Lobster Salad was first published in Fifty-One Tales (London: Elkin Mathews; New York: Mitchell Kennerley, 1915).

    Books at Bedtime By Calming Anxiety - HOW THE ENEMY CAME TO THLUNRANA - By Lord Dunsany

    How the Enemy Came to Thlunrana by Lord Dunsany — A Dark Fantasy Fable for Sleep & Insomnia | Books at Bedtime   Drift off with How the Enemy Came to Thlunrana by Lord Dunsany, a short, spellbinding fantasy fable of prophecy, magicians and a dreaded secret, read aloud by Martin Hewlett on Books at Bedtime, the sleep story series from Calming Anxiety.   It was foretold in ancient days that an enemy would come upon Thlunrana. The date of its doom was known, and so was the gate by which the enemy would enter. Yet no prophecy said who the enemy was, only that he was of the gods, though he dwelt with men. Meanwhile Thlunrana, the great secret cathedral of wizardry, remained the terror of the valley, its narrow windows glowing strangely in the night, and its magicians veiled, hooded and cloaked in black.   On the last night of all, a man from a black thatched cottage by the five pine trees climbs the dark valley for one final look at the place. Afraid but determined, he walks in through the southward door named the Gate of Doom. He passes the whispering magicians and their lighted tapers, and comes at last to a silk pavilion in a chamber of black marble, the holy of holies, where the deepest mystery of Thlunrana lies behind drawn curtains. What he finds there, and who the enemy really is, Dunsany saves for the final lines.   This classic short story for adults is a rich, atmospheric wind-down for a busy mind, with Dunsany's dreamlike, mythic prose, a surprisingly satisfying ending and Martin's calm, unhurried narration. It's an ideal short sleep audiobook for fantasy lovers and for anyone with insomnia who finds it hard to switch off at night.   If you enjoyed it, you'll find more Lord Dunsany on Books at Bedtime, including The Hen, The Return of the Exiles and The True History of the Hare and the Tortoise, all from the same collection.   How the Enemy Came to Thlunrana was first published in Fifty-One Tales (London: Elkin Mathews; New York: Mitchell Kennerley, 1915).
