Summary

Welcome back, sleepyheads. Tonight, we're going back in time to a wintry London in 1837, where we'll spend time with one of the most famous writers in history, Charles Dickens. As well as learning more about the man himself, we'll also learn to embrace the beauty of the little things, just as he did. 😴 Sound design: wintry breeze, church bells, horse hooves. 🌬🔔🐴 Narrator: Abbe Opher 🇬🇧 Do you enjoy relaxing nature and white noise sounds?
