Episode Details

Relax to the soothing soundscape of Gull Harbor as Oscar Wilde’s timeless fairy tales carry you gently into sleep. This episode features “The Happy Prince” and “The Nightingale and the Rose,” softly narrated and paired with waves, gulls, and the hum of a vintage radio — creating a tranquil bedtime experience.

In The Happy Prince, a golden statue and a faithful swallow give everything to help others in need. In The Nightingale and the Rose, a nightingale sacrifices her life for love that goes unnoticed. These gentle stories offer compassion, heartbreak, and serenity — the perfect blend for unwinding at night.
