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.

Lovely way to fall asleep
Man says "Audible hopes you have enjoyed this program" at the end, really intrusive.

I find Clarissa Pinkola's voice to be very soothing. This honestly puts me to sleep.
Fantastic colourful story also.

Dream Recall
I've only partly listened to this once. Since its aplication specific I can't rate it for longevity I don't know if it will lose its effect listening to the same stories over and over as I drift off, but I do know its very relaxing and I had a very interesting dream that I can recall with pretty good clarity and I woke up feeling noticeably better than usual. This is really astounding considering I have had pretty much zero dream recall for years now. Based on my personal experience I think this would be good for insomniacs, depressives and anxious types. So instant 5 stars thx.

This woman has magic in her voice
I can't write a full review of this as I have not managed to listen to the whole of it. I would estimate that the furthest I have reached is perhaps 20 minutes. For the part I have heard, I would say, it's not so much what she says but the way that she says it !
There are a couple of nice concepts , a couple of relaxation suggestions , then it's on with the story, which seems to be a meshing together of several favourite fairy tales.
At the price, i bought it outright instead of using my credit and I have already had more than value for money . If you ever have trouble sleeping or just fancy the idea of having all your cares soothed away from time to time, i would highly recommend this audio.

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.

wow
This works, I've yet to hear the whole book. A beautiful voice expertly used to comfort restless souls. My gratitude to an astonishing author; I will now listen to more from CPE.
