About Tuck'd In

Tuck'd In is a free collection of bedtime stories for adults — classic fairy tales and fables you loved as a kid, retold with the warmth, depth, and quiet wisdom that only makes sense after you've lived a little.

These aren't children's stories with bigger words. They're reimagined from scratch — the same bones, the same characters, the same worlds — but written for people who know what it's like to lose something, to want something you can't reach, to keep a promise that's hard to keep.

Who It's For

We wrote these for couples. For the boyfriend reading to his girlfriend after a long day. For the wife reading to her husband while the house goes quiet. For anyone who remembers what it felt like to be read to — to close your eyes and let someone else carry the story for a while.

But they're also for you, alone, on a Tuesday night, when the world is too loud and you need something gentle and good before you sleep.

The Collection

We currently have 19 stories, ranging from 6-minute Aesop's fables to 16-minute fairy tale epics:

• Aesop's Fables — The Fox and the Grapes, The Boy Who Cried Wolf, The Lion and the Mouse, The Goose That Laid the Golden Eggs
• Fairy Tales — Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Beauty and the Beast, Goldilocks, Jack and the Beanstalk, The Frog Prince, The Gingerbread Man, Thumbelina
• Folk Tales — Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, Aladdin, Stone Soup, The Pied Piper of Hamelin
• Classics — Goodnight Moon, The Velveteen Rabbit, Pinocchio

More stories are coming. We're working on Hans Christian Andersen, the Brothers Grimm, and a few surprises.

Reading Tips

Read them out loud. Every story is paced for the human voice. The sentences breathe. The paragraphs have rhythm. They're meant to be heard, not just seen.

Pick the right length. Tired? Grab a 6-minute fable. Lazy Sunday? Go for Pinocchio at 16 minutes. There's no wrong choice.

Don't rush the endings. The goodnight sections at the end of each story are written to ease you into sleep. Let them land.

Sweet dreams. 💤
