Bedtime Story: The Golden Key

This story is excerpted from Scottish writer George MacDonald, considered to be the founding father of modern fantasy. He influenced authors including C.S. Lewis, J.R. Tolkien, and Madeleine L'Engle. With beautiful, detailed imagery, we follow the story of a boy and a girl in search of the golden key at the end of the rainbow.

MacDonald once said that he doesn't write for children, "but for the child-like, whether they be five, or fifty, or seventy-five."

Voice like the ethereal grandmother your wished you had.

This is ANOTHER one I have to leave a review for because it’s just so good!

Your meditations are my favourite because I can never get through them. Thank you.

This was very helpful for sleep after a restless night of tossing in bed. Thank you!

I do so appreciate your bedtime stories! Thank you for the sweetness of listening, turning off my thoughts to hear what will happen next, and having good dreams in the night. 💙💤🕊️🙏🏽
