Good evening and welcome to the Sleepy Bookshelf.

This season which is exclusive to Premium, we have a Norwegian Folk Tale called East

of the Sun and West of the Moon.

We know our listeners are as unique as our stories and lucky for you, our bookshelf is varied

with lots of different types of works to lull you into a deep sleep.

The following is a preview to give you an idea of what to expect from this season.

East of the Sun and West of the Moon is a classic Norwegian Folk Eventeer or Folk Tale.

It tells the story of a young woman who travels with a white bear to a palace where

they live together in harmony, but when an enchantment forces them apart, the young woman

must find her way back to him.

All she knows is that he's in a castle with trolls that lies east of the Sun and West

of the Moon.

She meets some unusual allies along the way, including three old women bearing golden

gifts and the four wins.

Like many Norwegian Folk tales, this story highlights both the strengths and weaknesses

of humankind through the actions of the characters and by comparison with the trolls.

We hope you decide to join us for this season, however if you think that East of the Sun

and West of the Moon just isn't your cup of tea, feel free to explore the rest of the

bookshelf.

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

Our premium subscription offers stories to listen to between the seasons on the main

feed.
