A quiet bedtime story to calm your nervous system, spent watching small, unhurried work done well. On a flat rock at the eastern end of the beach, a small dark crab is arranging her found colours in a curved line: rose-pink sea glass, an amber stone, a curl of pale kelp. It is not for anything. It is just arranged. Prince Freddie sits down on the sand and watches the rose-pink catch the last light and go briefly extraordinary.
Prince Freddie is a small dog in a flat gold crown who lives in a sleepy village on the Spanish coast, where the days are warm, the sea is always close, and nothing is ever in a hurry. These are calm sleep stories, written to quiet an anxious mind and soften the end of the day. You are not meant to reach the end.
No ads, ever. How to listen: lie down, dim the light, and let the words do the walking. If you drift off before the last line, the story has done its job.

If this one ends before you do, there is a longer telling. The Settle, Night 19, is the same story told twice, slower the second time, 26 minutes over a steady sea, with an ending you are not meant to hear. Ad-free, and the first seven nights are free. settle.princefreddie.com
Every story is written by the Prince Freddie studio and read by a calm synthetic voice.
Press play, and let the day settle.
