This is the first of many Guided Sleep Stories inspired by ‘The Lord of the Rings’. Kicking off this collection with a relaxing and peaceful journey through The Shire. I hope you enjoy!

You start your adventure in Farmer Maggot’s field after a morning’s work picking Strawberries. Then, you take a row boat down the Brandywine river, arriving on the borders of The Shire, and after a short walk you reach the heart of your enchanting village. From here you will take a peaceful stroll through The Shire where you will pass by many of the little folk going about their day, as you visit the different corners of your homeland, before heading back to your very own little Hobbit hole for a restful sleep.
