The Sleeping Almanac
Alice in Wonderland · The Original Story
The voice you hear is the creator's own. He cloned it from recordings of his own voice, so every story is told in his voice. If you enjoy falling asleep to it, follow the show so each new story arrives on its own, and leave a rating on Apple Podcasts so other people can find it.
A slow, calm 3 hour fairy tale sleep story to help you fall asleep and stay asleep. Tonight the storyteller opens the old book to Alice in Wonderland, as Lewis Carroll first told it in 1865. A golden afternoon on a riverbank, a white rabbit with a waistcoat pocket and a watch inside it, a fall so long and slow it feels like floating, and a tea table where the dormouse sleeps peacefully through everything. The whole adventure is a dream from its first page to its last, which makes it the safest adventure there is, and at the end the dreamer simply wakes on the same warm bank, with her head in her sister's lap.
Settle in, close your eyes, and let it drift over you. The pacing is slow, the voice is soft, and the music never spikes. It is all a dream on a riverbank, and the story knows it, so nothing in it can follow you anywhere except into sleep. There is nothing here to fear. You do not have to watch. You do not have to remember any of it in the morning.
