Sleepy Time Tales - Bedtime Stories for Sleep and Relaxation David Couto

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald  Pt 03 – Sleepy Stories of Parties and Scandal
This week’s bedtime story for all ages picks up with our protagonist at a party at the house of his cousin’s husband’s mistress, and it is every bit as awkward as you expect.
The story then moves to another party that’s awkward in its own way as he receives an invite to Gatsby’s house and is immersed in the middle of the bright and beautiful young things, where meeting the host is more challenging than expected.
Stories of music, and excitement are one thing, but they won’t stop you from falling asleep.

The book of the ancient Greeks by Dorothy Mills – Part 06. Athens and the Greek Colonies
We pick up in this week’s boring episode with Solon establishing the new rules of what we might call democracy in Athens, the resistance to the new way and the founding of the Greek colonies in Asia Minor.
It’s a fascinating period of history, but as always I’m confident that the way I’m telling it will see you fast asleep very soon..

Night and Day by Virginia Woolf
This is a meditative reading from Viginia Woolf’s classic novel at Katharine Hilbery and her mother are going through the process of compiling the letters and information for the biography of their great ancestor.
We learn a lot about the family, but I’m sure I won’t keep you awake as we discuss Katheirne’s methods for organising paperwork and keeping her mother in line.
We learn the shocking information that Katharine has  a talent for mathematics right before the story moves to the activities of Mary Datchet and her flirtations with Ralph Denham.
This is really a beautifully written book, full of charming characters. But they way I read to you I’m confident you’ll be asleep soon.

Memoirs of Extraordinary Popular Delusions by Charles Mackay
We pick up this week learning about how private enterprise came up with the plan to save the English economy by exploiting the new frontiers of South America through forming the South Sea Company in 1711.
Driven by the promise of ships full of gold coming from the native tribes of the New World a frenzy of speculation in stocks in the company drove stock values through the roof.
However, the riches failed to materialise as Spain, in control of most of the New World would not allow free trade from their English rivals.
But this didn’t prevent some people becoming wealthy from the scam while ruining many, many others.
