Relaxation Rewind! A Thousand Mile Walk ...

SHARON HANDY
About this episode

In this newly remastered episode, let's rest beneath the trees with one of the first environmentalists. His relaxed rambles from Indiana to Florida contain quiet caves, sleepy groves, and a rucksack full of rhapsodies about nature's beauties.

***Boring Books for Bedtime will be on break through September, so enjoy some remastered episodes from the wayback. We'll return with new readings for sleep in October!***
