The Message in the Bottle, Night 17 | A Bedtime Story for Grown Ups, No Ads

A slow sleep story for a ruminating mind, beginning with a beeswax-sealed green bottle at the tide line. Inside is an unsigned message from a long way off that describes Freddie's own beach exactly: the lighthouse that sweeps every twelve seconds, the fountain with the silver fish, the small prince who walks the tideline. No one can say who wrote it, and Freddie decides the question does not need an answer. He re-corks the bottle and gives it back to the sea. A story about letting a mystery stay a mystery.Prince Freddie is a small dog in a flat gold crown who lives in a sleepy village on the Spanish coast, where the days are warm, the sea is always close, and nothing is ever in a hurry.
