Gull Harbor: Oscar Wilde Sleep Stories – The Young King & The Selfish Giant
Description
Explore calming sleep stories by Oscar Wilde in this relaxing soundscape from Gull Harbor. Featuring “The Young King” and “The Selfish Giant,” these gentle bedtime tales are read with soft narration and accompanied by the peaceful sounds of waves, gulls, and an old radio — designed to help you unwind and fall asleep fast.
Let the soft splash of waves and the distant cry of gulls blend with the gentle crackle of an old radio, as the timeless words of Oscar Wilde drift across the quiet shores of Gull Harbor. In The Young King, a prince dreams his way to wisdom on the eve of his coronation. In The Selfish Giant, a walled garden and a lonely heart are slowly transformed by the laughter of children. Settle in, get comfortable, and let these old-world stories carry you into sleep.
