*Travels by Candlelight* takes you to the Sahara at dusk, Sicilian lemon groves in afternoon heat, English downland in early morning, Scottish islands in Atlantic wind, the bazaars of Samarkand, the coasts of Norway, the ancient roads of Morocco and the Far East.

These are the journals, diaries and travel essays of Victorian and Edwardian writers — some celebrated, many forgotten — who wandered the world and wrote about it with a patience and lyricism rarely found today.

Unhurried. Atmospheric. Read aloud without music or effects, at a pace designed to slow your mind and ease you into sleep.
If you struggle to sleep, if you need something absorbing but not gripping, if you want to drift off somewhere more interesting — this channel was made for you.
