    SleepyTimeVoice: Bedtime Stories To Help You Sleep - The Nail as told by Katherine Pyle

    A moralistic story with uncertain origin which warns about how haste makes waste. It has been told by the likes of the Brothers Grimm. For this fully family friendly version of the tale we turn to author Katherine Pyle, an American artist, poet, and children's writer, sister of author and artist Howard Pyle.  Pyle told this version in Mother’s Nursery Tales, a collection of stories she published in 1918. Something we will be coming back to again for other classic nursery tales.

    SleepyTimeVoice: Bedtime Stories To Help You Sleep - The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing by Aesop

    Aesop's Fables, or the Aesopica, is a collection of fables credited to Aesop, a slave and storyteller believed to have lived in ancient Greece between 620 and 564 BCE. While he may have created many of the stories, there are a number that are ascribed to him that originated before his time, or came from outside of Greece, and many have continued to be added on to his legacy long after his death. There are nearly 600 fables under Aesop's name - The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing is a story of how the trickery of the wicked can lead to their own end. This version is suitable for all ages and a lovely story to fall asleep to while learning that liars never prosper.

    SleepyTimeVoice: Bedtime Stories To Help You Sleep - My World by Margaret Wise Brown

    Margaret Wise Brown is another of the female literary giants. She has been called "the laureate of the nursery" for her achievements. The third book in Brown and Clement Hurd's "classic series" also known as the "Runaway Bunny" series, it is the "companion" to Goodnight Moon was published just two years after that book in December 1949. It is dedicated to Clement Hurd's son Thacher Hurd, who was born shortly before it was published. As the companion to Goodnight Moon, this story seems to be written in the voice of the same bunny child as they compare their world to that of their parents. While best accompanied by the pictures, the soothing simple verse might be what you need to get to sleep.
