Description

As a child being read to was one of the greatest joys imaginable. A loved one would start a tale whilst you were all cosy warm in bed with the lights nodding off. Anything could happen but sleep would come and dreams would start and all was good with the world.

Adults too long for reassurance, for comfort, for calm. Sometimes they may get that. But with classic authors such as Oscar Wilde, O Henry, Saki, Rabindranath Tagore and many others they may not. Expect the unexpected.
