Best for: falling asleep to a story
Messer Ottobono is a slow historical sleep story aboard a Genoese cog bound for Palermo, where young clerk Ansaldo di Negro discovers the sealed Fieschi letter he was carrying has vanished at sea. Through squalls, cargo checks, and harbour formalities, he must choose between concealment and the hard, plain work of telling the truth. Narrated by Charles in a warm, grounded voice for drifting off.
