Hodder & Stoughton Bedtime Stories for Stressed Out Adults

We read the reviews for this one and were anticipating a soothing lullaby in story form. However, these are not the childhood stories we remember and we found them a bit alarming in places and most we had never heard of before. A lot didn't seem to have a conclusion and a fair few were moral tales which we didn't find relaxing at all. Perhaps we were expecting more in the way of fluffy, happy tales. This is just our opinion though, we leave you to make up your own minds. Just not what we were expecting.

I bought this for my sister’s birthday as part of my contribution to her mindfulness and I’m really glad I did. It came highly recommended in the Stylist magazine because of Lucy M and it’s worth every penny. Great stories for [stressed out] adults indeed.

Wonderful and beautiful book. Bought as a gift. Takes you back to childhood remembering reading some of the stories and have read ones I've not come across before. Great for settling the mind before bed.

This was bought as a Christmas gift but I had a sneaky flick through it before wrapping and it looked good.

Not for me
