Bedtime stories for curious adults, told without ads or hurry.
Welcome to The Far Lantern.
Here, we wander through fascinating corners of history, remarkable discoveries, and the wonderfully human stories behind them.
I'm Laurence, your guide for these quiet little journeys. There's no rush, no need to stay awake until the end, and always another story waiting when you return.
So pull up a chair. The fire is warm, the lantern is lit, and there's time for one more story.
