Burrow Library

Penny Whistle, Lyre & Crackling Fire Ambience Length: 3 hours

A cozy hillside burrow lined with books, with a round window onto autumn hills, a glowing stone fireplace and tea set out beside an old map.

Books fill curved shelves from floor to ceiling around a glowing stone fireplace. A round window looks out on autumn hills at sunset, and a pot of tea, little cakes and an open book wait on a table spread with an old hand-drawn map, while steam rises from a waiting cup.

The music, “Tea and Tales by the Fire,” is led by a warm penny whistle over delicate lyre, with touches of sitar: gently lilting, with a playful hint of adventure. It sits gently alongside the crackle of the fire, easy company for reading, writing or studying.

Burrow Library is a snug room dug into a hillside, with a thick rug on the floor, a well-worn armchair under a knitted blanket and more books than anyone could finish. Put it on for a long afternoon of reading, a rainy weekend, or whenever you want to plan an adventure without leaving your chair.
