The Coming-Out of Maggie 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 The Coming-Out of Maggie, O. Henry's warm story of a shy paper-box factory girl who finally gets a fellow of her own — 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, plain, overlooked Maggie has always been the one left standing at the Saturday night dances — until she turns up on the arm of a dashing new escort, and her whole social club sits up and takes notice. But as the evening at the Clover Leaf Social Club unfolds, a steady-hearted club man named Dempsey Donovan proves there's more to being chosen than a handsome face. A gentle, old-fashioned tale with O. Henry's trademark twist, 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.
