A Cozy Bedtime Reading of By the Shores of Silver Lake — Chapter 24 - 25 Jun 10, 2025

Show notes

Settle in for a gentle, unhurried reading of Laura Ingalls Wilder's classic story of the Ingalls family's move to the shores of Silver Lake in the Dakota Territory. Follow along as the family faces a new chapter of change and discovery together — perfect for winding down and drifting off to sleep.

Historical Context Note: This classic story from the late 1800s reflects the cultural perspectives, terminology, and survival practices of the era in which it was written. Some of these vintage elements do not align with modern values and may be uncomfortable for some audiences. We present this unedited tale strictly for historical accuracy and to encourage thoughtful reflection on our past.

Sweet dreams!
Joanne ❤

(Premium Preview) Kind Little Edmund | A Gentle Bedtime Tale Jun 05, 2025

Show notes

Hello friends! Tonight’s bedtime story is a preview of Kind Little Edmund by Edith Nesbit—an imaginative tale about a kind-hearted boy who discovers a troublesome dragon deep within a mountain. With the help of a wise cockatrice, Edmund’s compassion is put to the test in the most unexpected way.

This calming story is perfect for winding down, easing into stillness, and drifting off to sleep.

Enjoy this short preview—and if you’d like to hear the full story, consider subscribing to Drift Off Premium for weekly bonus episodes and ad-free listening.

So snuggle in, take a deep breath… and let the story carry you peacefully into dreamland.

Historical Note: This classic story includes a brief mention of old-fashioned schoolroom discipline common during the time period it was written. It is a very small detail included strictly for historical context.

Listener Note: This podcast is a traditional storytelling sleep aid designed for a mature audience. While most classic tales are family-friendly, we recommend that parents and guardians preview the full episode first to determine if the vintage themes are a good fit for their specific young listener.
