Hi, my name is Otis Gray and you're listening to Sleepy.

A podcast where I read you to sleep.

I've only just started this show and I realized that the only books I'd be able to read here are books that are in the public domain.

It was amazing when I found this out and looked into how many books belong to everyone now.

Mostly old books, classics like Shakespeare, Emily Dickinson, Mark Twain.

So many books that I've wanted to read for a long time, but have always found an excuse not to do it.

Now, I get to read them to you.

Just because I hope that you'll be asleep by the end of this, I've wanted to say now that the music you're hearing is by my really good friend James Lepkowski.

And it's played on this amazing guitar ukulele thing that he made.

Tonight, I get to read you a story that was a really big part of my childhood.

It's Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Graham, written in 1908.

My brother and I didn't really have TV growing up, but we had a lot of really great old movies on VCR, Disney movies and Oldie Eller and Homeward Bound.

And one of them that we watched over and over and over again was the 1995 cartoon version of Wind in the Willows.

It's amazing. I've probably seen it a hundred times by now, but I've never read the book.

So tonight, I'm finally going to read it while you drift off into a deep, deep sleep.

So lay your head down, settle in, fix your pillow just how you like it, slowly melt into your bed, and close your eyes, and let me read to you.
