Bedtime Story: The 100th Princess

Tonight’s bedtime reading is called ‘The Hundredth Princess’. This tale is among a collection of fairy tales found in the book called ‘The Other Side of the Sun’ by Evelyn Sharp published in 1900.

This fairytale is about a beautiful maiden known as the Green Enchantress who possesses an innate connection with nature and cherishes every living creature of the woods. The king has a great passion for hunting little animals that live in the forest. The enchantress’s heart grows heavy with sorrow and she resolves to put a spell on the King. However, the enchantress has trouble using her powers and with the help of her uncle, finds another way to make the King stop hunting so the animals can live peacefully in their homes without fear.

🌿 I love love that the music kept going. It was a tough night for me and I just could not get to sleep. But losing myself in this silly-wonderful and kind story was helpful. I didn't hear the end. And I will definitely return!🙏

I love this sweet and happy ending story. Thank you.

Lovely, thank you Joanne! I will have to come back and see how much of this I will actually hear the next time. 💜

I haven’t heard the ending yet but I’mi often on the lookout for a new story by Joanne. 😊 I’ve listened to this a few times as I drift off and a) I like the gentle “wind down” guidance at the start, 2) the cute story in the reader’s signature voice and tone, and 3) the length. I’m not sure if the story itself is 90 minutes or if there’s music - I vaguely recall waking to just music for a moment but might have been dreaming😁 - but I love longer stories because I usually need to listen to multiple times before I hear the end.
Mostly, I really enjoy Joanne’s storytelling style and pleasant bedtime presence. Thank you!
