Counterpane chronicles & bedtime butterflies lead you gently into the friendly forest of dream world

These are original stories and creative re-tellings composed and voiced by Seymour Jacklin. Whimsical, enchanted, relatable yet other-worldly, they are intended to unlock your imagination and invite your dreaming mind to take a healing journey.

Stories are magic spells, whether on a page or spoken, every word in its place and doing its work to transmute us at the deepest level through the power of our imaginations.
