Peter Pan · The Original Story · 3 Hour Sleep Story to Fall Asleep

A slow, calm 3 hour fairy tale sleep story to help you fall asleep and stay asleep. Tonight the storyteller opens the old book to Peter Pan, as J. M. Barrie wrote him in 1911. A nursery at number fourteen, a large gentle dog for a nurse, a boy who comes back for his lost shadow, and directions no map has ever improved: second star to the right, and straight on till morning. There are mermaids in a lagoon, a patient Never bird on her floating nest, a little house built around a sleeping girl, and a window kept open at the end, because some windows always are.Settle in, close your eyes, and let it drift over you. The pacing is slow, the voice is soft, and the music never spikes. There is a pirate in it, but tonight he is more pocket watch than menace, and the nursery window stays open the whole time. There is nothing here to fear. You do not have to watch. You do not have to remember any of it in the morning.Episode 5 of 12 · The Storybook SeasonWhere this sits: Part 5 of 12 in The Storybook Season, one storyteller, one lantern, and one complete famous tale each night, each told from its original source.
