At Gull Harbor, the evening wind drifts across the porch, and the distant sound of gulls mingles with the calm voice of a classic story. In The Great Stone Face by Nathaniel Hawthorne, a young boy grows up beneath a mountain formation said to resemble the face of a coming hero. As travelers pass through the valley, Ernest searches for the true embodiment of greatness—and in doing so, quietly becomes something noble himself. This peaceful tale, told in soft tones and accompanied by ocean waves and radio static, will guide you gently toward sleep.
