The Sleeping Almanac
Robin Hood · The Original Legend
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 storybook sleep story to help you fall asleep and stay asleep. Tonight the storyteller opens the old book to Robin Hood, from the oldest ballads and the Gest of Robyn Hode, the greenwood as it always was. A tall stranger met on a narrow bridge with a quarterstaff, a friar who carries an outlaw across a river and back again, a golden arrow won in plain sight, a poor knight lent four hundred pounds and his dignity with it, and a king who comes to the greenwood to see for himself. Sherwood at dusk is one of the calmest places any story has ever kept.
Settle in, close your eyes, and let it drift over you. The pacing is slow, the voice is soft, and the music never spikes. There are arrows in it, but they are aimed only at willow wands and targets, and nobody in the greenwood goes to sleep hungry or afraid. There is nothing here to fear. You do not have to watch. You do not have to remember any of it in the morning.
