    The Last Man by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

    The Last Man by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

    I was worried picking what was supposedly the first post apocalyptic novel for this podcast, but it’s taking forever to get there and we pick up this week with out protagonist returning home with his sick friend, and a budding romance with the distractingly named young woman Idris.

    But Idris and Adrian’s noble mother does not approve of the match up and she has something up her sleeve.

    Both an interesting read and a boring on so I’m sure you will be asleep soon enough.

    Birds and their nests by Mary Howitt – Nightingales, Larks and More Oh My!

    Birds and their nests by Mary Howitt – Nightingales, Larks and More Oh My!

    We pick up with this listener favourite and learn the mating and nesting habits of several birds, including beloved songbirds like Nightingales, Skylarks and more.

    We learn how they migrate, about attempts to introduce some of the birds to new areas and the parenting habits of birds like plovers.

    A lot of cute stories in here, with the occasional darkness of true nature.

    The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald  Pt 03 – Sleepy Stories of Parties and Scandal

    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

    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

    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.

    We pick up learning about the glass produced in Ireland, the taxes and levies that wiped out the Irish glass industry, then move on to learning about novelty glasses, including popular yard glasses, which you can still find in certain pubs.

    Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea by Jules Verne

    Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea by Jules Verne

    We continue this classic adventure on the frigate Abraham Lincoln as it passes from the Atlantic through the Straits of Magellan and into the Pacific Ocean.

    As we meet legendary harpooner Ned Land the ship searches for the mysterious and dangerous ‘Narwal’ only to find nothing. The ocean shows know sign of the ‘Unicorn’ as the crew searches from Japan to America.

    Eventually they decide to call off the search when they see something unbelievable.

    But it takes a long time to get there, so I doubt you’ll be awake for the excitement.

    Memoirs of Extraordinary Popular Delusions by Charles Mackay

    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.

    In this sleepy time reading of The Secret Garden we pick up with Dickon and Mary in the garden, deciding whether poor Colin will be helped by some fresh air and sunshine. They decide to try persuade him to come out with them, but events take a turn when she’s too busy to visit Colin and the two of them have a fight.

    Events get tense in a funny way and play out for the best. But you should be asleep before Colin’s late-night temper tantrum puts their friendship at risk

    The Elements of Geology by William Harmon Norton

    The Elements of Geology by William Harmon Norton

    For this week’s sleepy story we return to the popular Elements of Geology. Learning about the formation of rivers valleys and geological deposits will definitely not keep your attention as you lie down to sleep.

    I recorded this yesterday and I can barely remember the specifics, but learn about how deposits form the curves in rivers, salt lakes and many other geological features.

    Story (03:04)

    SleepPhones, our perfect partnership

    In our experience the best way to experience the bedtime stories of Sleepy Time Tales is with some type of headphone or earbud, but they can be cumbersome and uncomfortable.

    So we’ve partnered SleepPhones, manufacturers of headphones designed specifically to sleep in! They use a thin speaker fitted to a comfortable headband and have options from the cost effective wired headphones to the convenient Bluetooth model and will work with Sleepy Time Tales to improve your night’s sleep.

    The Description of a New World, Called the Blazing-World
    Discussions With Spirits And Worms Will Help You Sleep

    The Description of a New World, Called the Blazing-World by The Duchess of Newcastle

    This novel is supposedly one of the first science fiction novels, and it’s certainly an artifact of its time, even if not exactly a rollicking story.

    The Empress, from out world, is still investigating the nature of the place she finds herself in. and Summons spirits to learn what is happening in the world above.

    What follows is a philosophical discussion of the nature of Spirit, Matter and the Soul which I am pretty certain will help you fall fast asleep.
