Books at Bedtime By Calming Anxiety - An Adjustment of Nature - By O Henry

An Adjustment of Nature by O. Henry — A Calming Bedtime Story for Sleep & Insomnia | Books at Bedtime



Drift off with this gentle bedtime story for sleep and insomnia relief, read aloud as part of Calming Anxiety's Books at Bedtime strand. Tonight's tale is An Adjustment of Nature, O. Henry's affectionate story of three broke young artists, a cheap New York eatery, and the magnificent waitress they consider entirely too perfect to leave — first published in his 1906 collection The Four Million, long in the public domain, with Porter (1862–1910) having died more than a century ago.

In this soothing bedtime audiobook, our narrator and his two artist friends have come to treasure Millie, the good-natured giant of a waitress at Cypher's cheap restaurant, exactly as she is — so when a wealthy Klondike gold miner takes a sudden fancy to marry her away, the three of them hatch a scheme to protect their favourite piece of the world's natural order. A gentle, unhurried classic with O. Henry's fond wit, perfect for winding down, easing anxiety, and drifting off to sleep.



Hosted by clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic Martin Hewlett, as part of Calming Anxiety's Coffee Break for the Soul and Books at Bedtime story readings.



And in everything, my friend, be kind.
