Tonight, we settle into a small, rain-soaked kingdom with Rasmus — a prince who feels every crease in the linen, every draught from a half-open door, the whole quiet weight of the sleeping castle while the world sleeps on.

A slow, warm bedtime retelling of a beloved fairy tale — wide enough to actually let go in. A king who answers his own gate. A mother who sees everything. A prince waiting, quietly, for someone who feels the world the way he does.

This is a slow, fairy-tale reading for sleep — soft spoken. No drama. Just rain on old stone, a candle at the window, one small kingdom holding its breath.

Thanks for listening with us tonight. Sweet dreams.

A Sleepbound Bedtime Retelling Tonight we step back to the edge of the great forest — Hansel with the wooden wren in his pocket, Gretel watching for the white bird among the bean-rows, and their father humming a slow going-down tune into the dark after them. The hunger hasn't come yet. The good years are still going by, quiet as a stream. This is a slow, fairy-tale reading for sleep — soft spoken, no music. No urgency. Just the woodcutter's fire, the sound of cold water over mossy stone, and two children who know the wood the way other children know the rooms of a house. We've taken the old story and breathed more room into it — room for summer afternoons by the spring, for a little birch-bark boat, for the warmth of a remembered voice. It's a bedtime telling: unhurried, close, and made for the hour when the world shrinks to the small gold reach of the firelight. Settle in. There's no rush to what comes next.

By Hugo Ashcombe "If we appear to be trying, we have already failed." Welcome back, and thank you for being here tonight.

Episode 2 settles into Brook Street on a May morning in 1860, as Lady Pembury wages a six-hour campaign to make the drawing room look as though it has never been arranged. The damp patch disappears behind a Chinese screen. Sir Marcus wanders in — magnificently unhelpful — and is handed a strict list of subjects he must on no account raise. Then Patrick arrives five minutes early with narcissi from a street barrow and no vase to put them in, and the Pembury household is quietly, tenderly laid bare: the hired furniture, the mismatched teacups, the landlady's stolen sherry. Warm, a little heartbreaking, and perfectly suited to the last quiet hour of the day.

Episode 3 brings the visit itself — and everything Sir Marcus cannot quite help saying. Settle in.

By Dorothy L. Sayers
Hello, dear supporters — thank you so much for being here. Tonight's reading is a real treat: the complete, unabridged audiobook of Whose Body? by Dorothy L. Sayers, all thirteen chapters in one long, cosy listen.

This is the mystery that introduced the world to the wonderfully witty Lord Peter Wimsey — a nobleman with a monocle, a quick mind, and an irresistible fondness for puzzles. When a naked stranger turns up in a Battersea bathtub, and a prominent financier vanishes from his London townhouse on the very same night, Peter can't help but get involved. What follows is a deliciously clever tale of imposture, deduction, and a villain hiding in plain sight — all unfolding at a pace perfectly suited to a quiet evening under the covers.

We hope it carries you gently off to sleep. Settle in, get comfortable, and let tonight's mystery do the rest.

Thank you, truly, for making this possible. 🤍

By Hugo Ashcombe Welcome, dear listeners — and a warm welcome to those settling in with Sleepbound for the very first time tonight.

We begin something new this evening: an original fan fiction audiobook set in the world of Downton Abbey, following seventeen-year-old Violet Pembury through her second London Season. Clever and quietly aware of every penny her family doesn't have, Violet surveys the marriage market at Lady Whitmore's glittering ball — until a quiet viscount with steady brown eyes and working hands catches her attention rather more than she'd planned.

This is an original fan fiction work — not affiliated with the official Downton Abbey franchise — written and produced with deep affection for that world.

As a Patreon supporter, the complete audiobook is yours to download and keep. Thank you, truly, for being here.

Beauty, wit, blood — and no money. The mathematics of the Season were brutal, and Violet had learned them early. Follow the channel and leave a like if you're enjoying the story — it makes a real difference. If you love the world of Downton, our sister channel Sleepbound Nights carries an original sequel series set after the show — well worth a listen. Next episode, Violet finds herself seated beside Lord Downton at supper, and the conversation takes a turn neither of them quite anticipated.

Sleep well tonight.
