Hello, my friend and welcome. I'm Joanne, and I'm so glad you've chosen to spend a little time with me tonight.

Whether you're already tucked comfortably into bed, settling into your favorite chair,

or simply looking for a peaceful escape from the busyness of the day. You've come to the right place.

Tonight I'll be sharing Princess May Blossom,

a magical fairy tale by Madame Dolanois,

one of the most beloved French fairy tale writers of the 17th century.

Her stories are filled with enchantment, wonder, talking animals, brave princes

and princesses, and just the right touch of whimsy, carrying us into a dreamlike world of fairy

enchantments, hidden towers, and quiet wonder. Before we begin, I'd like to

take a moment to thank those of you who support the show. When we're preparing for sleep,

the last thing we need is a sudden interruption or a loud sales pitch pulling us out of a relaxed state.

My goal has always been to create a calm and gentle place where you can unwind at the end of the day and simply rest.

Driftoff is 100% listener supported, and it is your kindness and generosity that make these

stories possible.

Because of that support, I'm able to keep this space peaceful and free from loud

advertisements and disruptive sponsorship announcements.

As a thank you for supporting the show,

Drift Off premium subscribers receive a weekly bonus episode,

early access to selected episodes,

and access to the Drift Off Lelveye Library,

a growing collection of all the audiobooks I've narrated so far,

gathered together in one place for hours and hours of uninterrupted listening.
