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.
