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.

In The Invisible World, scholar and poet John O'Donohue recovers Celtic spirituality's original mysteries, sharing practices and beliefs that enrich Ireland and its people to this day. For the Celts all life was sacred, yet they reserved their greatest reverence not for what they could see but for what they could not. Around them they sensed an "invisible world", the great unknown from which they came and the source of eternal wonder in their lives.

I found this audiobook very calming and generally just a great way to fall asleep. The stories are cute and help if you have very vivid dreams at all or just fun to fall asleep thinking about. I only wish it was longer.

I appreciate all the work I've come across by this author, but once I heard her voice I was in love. She is the perfect narrator for bedtime stories. Soothing and nurturing like a gentle motherly figure tucking you in to bed! I only wish there was more content included, I keep replaying the same stories before bed.
