A dreamy collection of poems to read before you turn off the light, or to guide you gently back to sleep when you wake in the small hours.

This soothing anthology contains 100 night-time poems specially selected to calm your mind, introduce positive thoughts, lull you to sleep and bring on sweet dreams. It contains not only poetry about the night itself, but an array of restful, tranquil, meditative verse, along with classic lullabies from many cultures.
