A calm sleep story for a racing mind, and for the fast friend who learns to wait. Tia arrives at great speed with news: there is something in the cliff beyond the headland. In a hidden sea chamber lit by one column of pale light, a seal pup is waiting for the tide to drop and open the way home, and Freddie shows that the kindest thing to do is sit quietly beside it until the sea opens the door on its own. An adventure that resolves by doing almost nothing, at exactly the tide's pace.

Prince Freddie is a small dog in a flat gold crown who lives in a sleepy village on the Spanish coast, where the days are warm, the sea is always close, and nothing is ever in a hurry. These are unhurried sleep stories, written to quiet an anxious mind and carry you down into sleep. You are not meant to reach the end.

No ads, ever. How to listen: lie down ...
