Good evening and welcome to the sleepy book shelf.

This season, which is exclusive to premium,

we have the fairy town, the water lily, the gold spinners.

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.

The water lily, the gold spinners, is an Estonian fairy town believed had been first recorded by Dr. Frederick

Crutswald. It can often be found under the shorter, more common name, the gold spinners.

This version appeared in the Blue Fairy Book, published in 1889.

The Blue Fairy Book is one of several compilations of folk and fairy tales

from around the world, put together by Scottish novelist Andrew Lang and his wife,

editor and writer Lenora Blanch Alain.

This tale is about three young women who live in the forest with an old witch,

spinning gold flax into yarn day and night.

One day a young man wanders into the forest.

He strikes up a conversation with one of the women, but this

transgression angers the witch who transforms her into a water lily as punishment.

The man must seek help in the most unlikely of places

to restore his beloved and find happiness again. We hope you will join us for this season.

However, if you decide that the water lily, the gold spinners isn't your cup of tea.

Feel free to explore the rest of the book shelf,

because we're sure you'll find something to help lull you into a restful sleep.
