Good evening and welcome to the sleepy bookshelf. This season we'll be reading the great

big treasury of Beatrix Potter. We know our listeners are as unique as our novels and

lucky for you, our bookshelf is varied with lots of different types of stories to lull

you into a deep sleep. The following is a preview to give you an idea of what to expect

from this season. The great big treasury of Beatrix Potter is a collection of some of the

most famous children's stories and short books by the famous British author, illustrator,

scientist and conservationist. They were all published during the early 1900s. We'll

hear tales featuring beloved animal characters like Peter Rabbit, Jemima puddle duck, Tom

Kitten and Benjamin Bunny. These friends get into trouble and mischief and make mistakes,

but always end up escaping or overcoming their challenges by the end. There are also

some charming seasonal tales like the Taylor of Gloucester. It follows a hard working

yet poor Taylor who takes ill the week before Christmas, just as he's supposed to be

making a fancy waistcoat for the mayor's wedding day. As he lays in bed, afraid he won't

be able to finish it in time, the little mice who live in his shop get to work to help

him out. We hope you will join us for this season. However, if you decide that the great

big treasury of Beatrix Potter isn't your cup of tea, feel free to explore the rest of

the bookshelf. We sure you'll find something to help guide you into a restful sleep.
