    25:40|
    Tonight's sleep story is an encore of Hamlet by William Shakespeare, retold by Edith Nesbit. You know the story of the Prince of Denmark and his revenge journey for the murder of his father originally written by William Shakespeare. This adaptation by Edith Nesbit condenses and simplifies the story but the end remains the same. If you're still awake, the second story is the Merchant of Venice. A story you might not be as familiar with.Support the podcast and enjoy ad-free and bonus episodes. Try FREE for 7 days on Apple Podcasts.
