About this episode

Welcome back sleepy listeners to this week's episode on Drift Off, where we immerse ourselves in the rich tapestry of fairy tales to help you find relaxation and sleep. Tonight, I'll be reading "King Grisly Beard," a tale that invites us to explore themes of pride, transformation, and unexpected turns of life. 

So, sit back, relax, and let the story carry you to a world of old where lessons come wrapped in the guise of enchantment.
