👎 Skip It
Penny here — this is a cozy idea, 33 short pieces meant to ease you toward sleep, with a nice introduction from Lucy Mangan. Readers say it's hit-or-miss across the collection and stronger in the first half than the second, and the narration by Joan Walker and Jonathan Keeble doesn't have much independent word on it either — worth a browse, not a must-buy.
