Hey, my name's Otis Gray, and you're listening to Sleepy.

A podcast where I read old books to help you get to sleep.

Tonight, we're reading the first part of a beautiful novel written by one of my favorite authors, Edith Nesbitt.

This is a really delightful bedtime reading.

And before we get to the story,

I just want to profoundly thank

all of our brand new patrons on patreon.com,

which is a site where you can go

and pledge a couple bucks

for an ad-free version of the show.

So, this week's amazing new patrons,

Lori Kay, Jeff, Maddie, Heidi McMath, Mary Burgy, Merrill, Kathy Carlin, Kay Carruthers,

Karina Vader, and Jill Davis Katz.

Thank you all so, so much for being a part of making the show.

It really, really means a lot.

And for anyone who doesn't know, the names that I just read are brand new supporters of Sleepy

on patreon.com,

which just allows you to support creators who make the stuff that you like directly

in exchange for cool perks.

Like I said, at $2 a month, you get access to the ad-free version of Sleepy.

At $5, you get access to our poetry feed.

But even if you donate $1, that means so much to me.
