Books at Bedtime By Calming Anxiety - A Fortunate Mistake - By Lucy M Montgomery

A Fortunate Mistake by L. M. Montgomery — A Heartwarming Bedtime Story for Sleep & Insomnia | Books at Bedtime

 

Settle in, soften your breathing and let this gentle, heartwarming short story by L. M. Montgomery, the beloved author of Anne of Green Gables, carry you softly towards sleep. A Fortunate Mistake is a sweet summer tale of friendship, kindness and a misaddressed note, read slowly and calmly as a bedtime story for adults who want to wind down, ease insomnia and drift into deep, restful sleep.

 

Lively Nan Wallace has sprained her ankle, and on the very day of the long-awaited school picnic she's stuck on the sofa with nothing but a vase of pink climbing roses for company. So she asks her sister Maude to write a quick note inviting her friend Florrie Hastings to come and cheer up a poor invalid for the afternoon.

 

Meanwhile, quiet Florrie Hamilton, the new girl in Winboro and the only one at Miss Braxton's school left off the picnic list, walks home feeling more hurt than she would ever admit. Then a dainty, perfumed note arrives for her, and she decides to be brave and accept. What follows is a tender story about shyness, snobbery and how one small slip of the pen can open the door to a friendship that lasts a lifetime.

 

If you enjoy this classic audiobook reading, you'll find more of L. M. Montgomery's short stories in the Books at Bedtime series from Calming Anxiety, including Ned's Stroke of Business, Davenport's Story, The Parting of the Ways and The Story of an Invitation, all perfect for a relaxing sleep audiobook night.

 

A Fortunate Mistake was first published in 1904 and is collected in Lucy Maud Montgomery Short Stories, 1904. L. M. Montgomery (1874–1942) has been in the public domain for many years, and this reading is shared freely for your rest and relaxation.
