Episode Details

Relax in the backseat on a nighttime drive with calming sleep stories by Oscar Wilde. This episode features “The Young King,” a tale of transformation through empathy, and “The Selfish Giant,” where joy returns to a forgotten garden. These timeless fairy tales are read through the soft static of a dashboard radio and designed to help you unwind and fall asleep fast.
