Summary

Drift off to sleep with tonight's reading of the opening chapter of The Phoenix and the Carpet by Edith Nesbit. Published in 1904, it is part of a series of books following the adventures of siblings Anthea, Jane, Cyril, Robert, and the Lamb. In this episode, the children "test" some fireworks indoors and their parents buy a new carpet. Inside the carpet, they discover an egg with a fiery yolk.

If you like this episode, please remember to follow on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or your favourite podcast app. Also, share with any family or friends that might have trouble drifting off.
