Welcome to Drift Off Bedtime Stories.

I'm your host Joanne, and I'm so glad you've joined me.

Tonight, we begin a new journey together as we dive into the timeless classic Anne of Green Gables

by Lucy Maud Montgomery. Each Sunday, I'll be narrating a few chapters, offering a gentle

escape into the charming world of Anne Shirley

and the beautiful landscapes of Prince Edward Island.

As we embark on this journey together, I'd like to remind you that your support is what keeps

this podcast ad-free and free from sponsorship announcements.

If you enjoy these stories and find peace here, please consider supporting the podcast.

Your contributions help me continue bringing these stories to you week after week.

Now, before we begin, let's take a moment to relax and settle in. Find a comfortable

position. Gently close your eyes and take a deep breath in and slowly exhale. Feel your body beginning to unwind

as you let go of any tension. Imagine yourself in a peaceful, cozy space, ready to drift off into a world of imagination and rest.
