As a “bedtime story” it was absolutely perfect. I listened alertly to the beginning but I have no recollection of the rest of the story because I was fast asleep. Hopefully I’ll get through more of it tonight. My sleep was uninterrupted and restful. Thank you!!

Beautifully read and lovely story, but my heart is broken! 💔Is she really still standing on the roof? (Spoiler alert). Thanks for the treat, Tom. Always top quality from you.

Listened to this 5 times so far. No clue what it’s about. Fell asleep. 😴✨ That’s not a criticism. It’s exactly what I needed!

I did enjoy this story & how you tell it. Thank you so much. You, mention a personal choice; The Smoking of the Peacepipe. Would you be able to narrate that one too, please? Léna 🐨

Since I fell asleep ½ way through the story when I'd listened to it before, I was not aware of how it ended. Bad Karma. 🤔In my opinion the jilted Princess was probably better off without him. She could do better. 😂 🐨

Put on the story, rolled over to listen. But...then I was awake and it was quiet. It must have worked, I thought. So I turned it on again. Now it’s morning and I still know nothing about any flying trunks!! 😂. Thanks, Tom 😊
