Time for a bedtime story

Struggling to sleep and these days I’ll turn to an audio book. But, I do have fond memories of my Ladybird books that I would read before bed when I was a tiny person!  The book covers are now seen as works of art, and given this display, I am not surprised. A touring exhibition has been on the go for around 5 years now.

If you are a certain age, you’ll remember these covers. The two I remember the most were The Princess and the Pea and The Elves and the Shoemaker.

This podcast is also a good listen. Certainly will help with the sleep avoidance thing, if you’re a fellow sufferer!!
