8-Hour Sleep Story: Phoenix And The Carpet & Other Stories
by Mandy Sutter
Relax and sleep to the whole of Edith Nesbit's wonderful book The Phoenix and the Carpet, presented in one seamless 8-hour track. As the book takes just 6 and a half hours to narrate, we finish off with three of Nesbit's wonderful short stories to bring us up to a full night's sleep: The Aunt and Amabel, The Sums that Came Right, and Kind Little Edmund (or the Cave and the Cockatrice). Four children find a large egg in an old rug, from which hatches a talking Phoenix. The gloriously plumed bird patiently explains that the rug happens to be a magic carpet that can take them anywhere in the world they decide to go. Wonderful and hilarious adventures ensue. This perennial children's book by the author of the Railway Children is written with adults in mind too, and the humor is pin sharp. For another 8-hour track narrated by me, please listen to the complete Ted the Shed, the true story of my Dad and the allotment he took on at the age of 87. Guitar music by William King.
