Gull Harbor: The Old Apple Dealer & The Snow-Image by Nathaniel Hawthorne – Calming Bedtime Story & Soothing Sounds
Description
Begin your evening with a soft bedtime story and gentle breathing guidance on a tranquil porch by the sea. Then, let the nostalgic sound of an old AM radio introduce two stories by Nathaniel Hawthorne. In The Old Apple Dealer, we meet a quiet, persistent man overlooked by the world. The Snow-Image brings to life the magical imagination of children—and the quiet sadness of disbelief. These reflective tales are paired with relaxing ocean sounds to create a serene bedtime experience.
