| Summary | "The Sandman's Hour: Stories for Bedtime" by Abbie Phillips Walker is a collection of bedtime stories written in the early 20th century. The book presents a series of enchanting tales featuring anthropomorphized animals and whimsical characters, designed to engage young readers' imaginations and offer moral lessons. Through enchanting narratives and illustrations, it aims to delight children and soothe them into peaceful slumber. The opening of this collection introduces the story "Where the Sparks Go," wherein a cat and a dog converse before a crackling fireplace as sparks dance into the night sky. The spark, personified, explains its desire to reach the top of the chimney to shine forever as a star. This conversation sparks the pet's curiosity, leading them to contemplate the magic of the night and the sparks' fate. Their adventure serves as an engaging beginning to the charming tales that follow, each imbued with warmth, friendship, and a subtle layer of wisdom suitable for bedtime reading.
