Drift Off - Bedtime Stories for Adults
A Cozy Bedtime Reading of The Long Winter — Chapter 28 & 29
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Settle in for a gentle, unhurried reading of Laura Ingalls Wilder's classic story of the Ingalls family enduring a brutal winter of blizzards and scarcity in their small Dakota Territory town. Follow along as the family holds fast together through the hardship — perfect for winding down and drifting off to sleep.
Historical Context Note: This classic story from the late 1800s reflects the cultural perspectives, terminology, and survival practices of the era in which it was written. Some of these vintage elements do not align with modern values and may be uncomfortable for some audiences. We present this unedited tale strictly for historical accuracy and to encourage thoughtful reflection on our past.
Sweet dreams!
