The Hurrying of Ludovic | Bedtime Story for Sleep

•

šŸŒ™ Tonight, settle in with another charming visit to Avonlea as we enjoy "The Hurrying of Ludovic" from Chronicles of Avonlea by L. M. Montgomery.

Ludovic Speed has spent years happily avoiding marriage, much to the frustration of those around him. But when the women of Avonlea decide that enough is enough, a gentle campaign begins to "hurry" him toward a future he never expected. Filled with Montgomery's trademark humor, warmth, and delightful village gossip, this beloved tale is a cozy and lighthearted bedtime listen.

So make yourself comfortable, dim the lights, and let the peaceful world of Avonlea carry you gently into a restful night's sleep.
