    I got a fright when reading this section this week. If Jewish people get mentioned in works this age it’s usually a bad thing, but I stuck with it and I felt it was quite respectful as the Empress of the Blazing World summons the spirits and asks them to teach her the ‘Jews Cabbalah’

    Ultimately they convince her this wouldn’t be authentic and the bring to her Margaret Cavendish, the author of the work, to help her as a scribe and they go on a journey of world creation, which is rather strange and confusing, but I’m sure this will help you sleep.

    Little Women by Louisa May Alcott

    For bedtime this week we pick up the story of Little Women. Last episode the March family received a telegram informing them that their father was sick, so it starts out as they prepare for Mother to go see him.

    *Hey all, I’m super busy with a move so nothing fresh for you this week, for which I’m sorry, but I won’t leave you sleepless, so here’s this lovely introduction to Birds and Their Nests which has been popular with listeners

    Next week will probably also be a repost as I get settled in and wait for internet, but normal service should resume around mid-august*

    A detailed study of the methods of birds building their nests. Fall asleep while listening to the methods of wrens and chaffinches to construct their warm and comfy homes.

    Happy sleeping. 😊

    A History of Art for Beginners and Students: Painting, Sculpture, Architecture

    As you get ready to sleep tonight, find yourself engrossed in the stories of some of the great Florentine master of renaissance art. We pick up the story of the great Leonardo Da Vinci and he moves from patron to patron.

    Then as you doze off in your bed we move on to the cranky Michealangelo who denied his families desires of going into the trades to follow the muse.

    Then we finish up with a few lesser known artists, but you will be well asleep before then.
