About this book
Arthur Scott Bailey's The Tale of Nimble Deer Sleepy-Time Tales welcomes listeners into a gentle, evergreen world where a tiny spotted fawn named Nimble learns about friendship, courage, and growing up. Set against the wooded ridges and swamps beneath Blue Mountain, this classic 1922 collection of animal fiction follows Nimble and a lively cast—Cuffy Bear, Frisky Squirrel, Tommy Fox, Brownie Beaver and more—through picnic plans, interrupted naps, mysterious lights, and playful contests.
Rich in early 20th-century charm and soft-hued humor, these stories blend whimsical adventure with moral lessons about kindness, curiosity, and community. Arthur Scott Bailey’s warm narration style and vivid character moments create a comforting bedtime rhythm while keeping young listeners engaged with clever problem-solving and unexpected twists—never revealing outcomes, but inviting imagination.
Perfect for fans of animal fiction and teen/young adult readers who appreciate nostalgic storytelling, families seeking soothing bedtime audio, or anyone who loves classic short tales with heart. Listen for the timeless atmosphere and reassuring voice of a bygone era that still teaches how small acts can make a big difference.
