King Arthur: How a Boy Nobody Knew Pulled the Sword From the Stone | History for Sleep

Fall asleep to the story of King Arthur as Malory told it — the sword in the stone, the getting of Excalibur, the founding of the Round Table, Merlin's one great foolishness, and the treachery of Morgan le Fay, told slowly over gentle ambient sound. Tonight, you rest with the ancient world — read slowly, warmly, and unhurried, over soft ambient sound designed for deep sleep. This is about eighty minutes of storytelling read aloud, with gentle ambient sound carrying you through the full 3 hours. Perfect for winding down, calming an anxious mind, drifting off, or turning your night into a moment of quiet reflection. 🌙 For best sleep: Dim your screen. Lower the volume. Let the old stories wash over you like slow, deep water. If your mind wanders, that is well. If you drift away, that is well. The stories will still be here. 📖 New history and mythology readings uploaded three times a week. Subscribe and tap the notification bell so tonight's story is ready when you are.
