Jane Austen Bedtime Stories

Fall asleep with the ultimate comfort bedtime stories: the works of Jane Austen

Listen

Emma, Volume 2, Chapter 11

Emma is planning a ball! After one delightful evening of dancing, Frank Churchill is eager to organize another one, and so the preparations begin. There are so many things to decide - is the parlour at Randalls large enough? How can they assuage Mr. Woodhouse's fears that they will all catch cold? And should there be a full supper, or, as Mrs. Weston suggests only sandwiches? (Don't worry, a ball without supper is quickly pronounced an infamous fraud upon the rights of men and women, and Mrs. Weston will never speak of it again.) Emma is caught up in the excitement, and this week's story will fill your mind as well, taking you off into another night of restful slumber.
