There are few more precious routines than that of the bedtime
story. So why do we discard this invaluable ritual as grown-ups to
the detriment of our well-being and good health? In this
groundbreaking anthology, Ben Holden, editor of the bestselling
Poems That Make Grown Men Cry, challenges how we think about life,
a third of which is spent asleep. He deftly explores not only the
science of sleep but also why we endlessly tell stories - even to
ourselves, as we dream. Holden combines his own illuminating
storytelling with a treasure trove of timeless classics and
contemporary gems. Poems and short stories, fairy tales and fables,
reveries and nocturnes - from William Shakespeare to Haruki
Murakami, Charles Dickens to Roald Dahl, Rabindranath Tagore to
Nora Ephron, Vladimir Nabokov to Neil Gaiman - are all woven
together to replicate the journey of a single night's sleep. Some
of today's greatest storytellers reveal their choice of the ideal
grown-up bedtime story: writers such as Margaret Drabble, Ken
Follett, Tessa Hadley, Robert Macfarlane, Patrick Ness, Tony
Robinson and Warsan Shire. Fold away your laptop and shut down your
mobile phone. Curl up and crash out with the ultimate bedside book,
one you'll return to again and again. Full of laughter and tears,
moonlight and magic, Bedtime Stories for Grown-ups joyfully
provides the dream way to end the day - and begin the night . . .
