Some adventures begin with a carefully laid plan. Others begin with a fractured rib, a rucksack full of wedding clothes, and a 24-mile hike through the Tuscan hills.

Award-winning adventurer Anna McNuff is back with a second collection of Bedtime Adventure Stories for Grown-Ups—and this time, it's complicated. Adventure now comes with children, curveballs, and considerably less sleep.

Join her for an inspiring collection of stories including:

Paradise Prison: What happens when your dream Thai adventure starts with an accidental quarantine and a man in camel-coloured Speedos?

An Odyssey En Vélo: A 150-mile family cycling journey through France involving a record-breaking heatwave, one-too-many croissants, and a heavy-duty bike named The Beast.

The Streets Are Alive!: A sun-baked run through the vibrant streets of Cabo Verde— racing against the clock of toddler twins' lunchtime nap.

Let's Go Sleep on A Mountain!: A mum-escape to the summit of Wales' Sugar Loaf, fuelled by Prosecco and Ferrero Rocher.

All Aboard!: The art of running 16 miles, pushing three kids in buggies.

There are steam trains and playgrounds. Mozzarella and mountains. Friendship and freedom. And, of course, a naked sea swim no one saw coming.

Narrated by Anna herself, these are tales to keep your adventurous spirit burning—through parenthood, uncertainty, and plans that gloriously unravel.

Perfect for parents, dreamers, and anyone who feels the quiet tug to do something brave again.

Because grown-ups (still) need bedtime stories too.
