Sleep story
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
Drift down the rabbit hole with Alice on a drowsy summer afternoon in this gentle sleep-story adaptation of Lewis Carroll's beloved 1865 classic. Follow the White Rabbit's hurried footsteps past the little golden key and the Drink Me bottle, through the pool of tears and the Dodo's topsy-turvy caucus race, to the Caterpillar's sleepy questions on his mushroom, the Cheshire Cat's slow-fading grin, the Hatter's never-ending tea party, and a dreamy game of croquet with the Queen of Hearts. Softened and slowed for sleep, with none of the story's sharper edges, this retelling keeps all of Wonderland's wonder and lets it dissolve, as dreams do, into a quiet waking on the riverbank. Narrated in a soothing slow voice, with a calm wind-down and breathing cue to carry you toward sleep.
