Summary
As a child growing up in a family of cantadoras (keepers of the old stories) Clarissa Pinkola Estes learned first hand how a story told at bedtime can soothe away the troubles of the day and prepare the way for another night's dreams to follow.
Now a beloved cantadora herself, Estes shares this treasured family tradition with you on Bedtime Stories, her own special collection of tales to relax and ease you to sleep.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Even grown ups need a bedtime story.
If you could sum up Bedtime Stories in three words, what would they be?
Goodnight, sleep tight!
What other book might you compare Bedtime Stories to, and why?
The Creative Fire by the same author, otherwise this audiobook is quite unique.
Which scene did you most enjoy?
I love the way Clarissa Pinkola Estes retells familiar tales so that they sound fresh and new.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Well, it's just not that kind of book, it's designed to sooth you off to sleep, so it would be something like, "You won't stay awake long enough to see the ending."!
Any additional comments?
CPEstes has such a lovely voice and she lulls you into a dreamy state in which her reading works on a subconscious level. The only thing that spoils it is the corporate man's voice that wakes you up at the end saying, "Thank you for listening to Audible." Perhaps Audible could consider leaving this off their products designed to induce sleep.

Zzzzzz - but in a very good way
Like many people, I can find it hard to fully switch off and drift off to sleep at night. I've tried several audiobooks, with varying degrees of success down the years, however, I can heartily recommend Clarissa Pinkola Estes' book.
It's not just what she's saying, but the way she says it, that will have you dozing off within minutes.
The fact that I'm yet to actually make it through to the end of the book would be seen as damning criticism for most audiobooks, but, given what Estes sets out to achieve, it is obviously incredibly high praise.
A must-download for anyone searching for sweet dreams come bedtime.

Why the branding
Right at the end. Can’t they delete the audible bit. Makes me loath Audible with a passion. Just as you’re nodding off you get this horrific “audible hopes you have enjoyed this programme. Urgh

Dreamy Storytelling
Lovely storytelling with the addition of some interesting information and helpful suggestions for sleep. She is a fantastic storyteller with just the right tone of voice and a pace that leads towards sleep.

antidote to restless mind
I love listening to Dr Estes, she has a warm and mystical voice. I used to avoid going to sleep until completely exhausted but with this book I am training my mind and body to prepare for sleep in a healthy way.

You will listen over and over ....
Whenever I find myself not able to sleep easily, I always turn to Bedtime stories by Clarissa Pinkola Estes . Her voice is instantly calming and soothing. She is one of the greatest storyteller in the world.
