Fall asleep to the complete story of Cinderella, a classic fairy tale sleep story told slowly, in a quiet voice, for deep rest and gentle calm. This is a bedtime story for adults, a long and unhurried sleep story for grown ups, a faithful and soothing retelling of the old folk tale, narrated for relaxation and insomnia relief.
Not only the glass slipper and the stroke of midnight, but the full arc of the tale, beginning with a single candle and a fire burning low, and a mother's last soft counsel to a gentle girl: be good, and keep a kind heart whatever may come. The story moves through a house grown cold with a new wife and two envious daughters, the long grey days of work by a fading hearth, and the little cinder girl who kept her kindness whole beneath the ashes. Then comes word of the king's ball, the night of weeping by the sunken fire, and the kind fairy godmother with her gentle wand, who turns a pumpkin into a coach, six grey mice into horses, and a plain grey dress into silver and gold. Past the palace ablaze with a thousand candles, the slow warm dance, and the clock that strikes twelve, the telling reaches the little slipper lost upon the stair, the search from door to door, the foot the slipper fits at last, and the tender forgiveness and happy wedding that gather everyone into warmth.
It moves gently through the meanings gathered around her name: kindness as the deeper magic that no hardship can take away, a mother's love outliving her in a few remembered words, the hearth and its ashes as a place of quiet endurance, midnight as a soft and harmless undoing, and forgiveness offered freely where cruelty had once been. Cinderella. The Fairy Godmother. The Glass Slipper. The Pumpkin Coach. The Stroke of Midnight. The Lost Slipper. The Prince. A bedtime story for adults drawn from the deep well of world folklore, and a long, still night's passage through fairy-tale storytelling for sleep.
