Insomnia? Got a child who will not go down at night? Try reading The Sandman out loud and you'll find yourself, and your child, blissfully snoozing off in slumber land. How does it work? Author Keith Floyd did his doctoral dissertation on relaxation and sleep research and The Sandman evolved to become the core of his research. This book (unlike many other equally soporific doctoral dissertations) tells a charming, enjoyable, and comforting story appropriate for non-sleepers of all ages.
