Tonight I will be reading a story called ‘The Magician’s Horse’ from Andrew Lang’s Greek Fairy book. This story is about a young Prince who gets separated from his brothers while hunting in a large forest far from the palace. After several days of wandering lost in the forest, an old man who is a magician, gives him food and shelter provided the prince looks after the Palace for him. The Prince becomes friends with the magician’s horse who eventually helps him escape to another Kingdom where the Prince and the horse help save the day. 
So lights out! Sweet dreamzzz....

Music in this episode is "Shimmering Waves" by JJessep
