About this audiobook
Around the world each night, parents tell stories to children as they put them to bed. Margaret Read MacDonald—a folklorist, storyteller, and former children's librarian—uses bedtime tales in the daytime to end her story hours on a calm note. Here, with accompaniment on dulcimer and autoharp by musician Richard Scholtz, she includes seven of her favorites from around the world. Opens with a lively piece and ends on a sleepy note.
