Omschrijving

The stories in this collection are all about Christmas, but that does not mean that they are all happy and tranquil. Sincere and romantic ones like O. Henry's meet the mysterious tales of Chesterton and Conan Doyle. A malevolent and nihilist gravedigger receives absolution from the most unlikely of creatures, while a poor shoemaker that has renounced God begins to look for His presence through his small window. Of course, it would not be a complete collection without everyone's seasonal favourite - Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol", which combes bitterness, love, forgiveness, and goodness into one magical story. A heartfelt and haunting collection that everyone will enjoy.

B. J. Harrison started his Classic Tales Podcast back in 2007, wanting to breathe new life into classic stories. He masterfully plays with a wide array of voices and accents and has since then produced over 500 audiobooks. Now in collaboration with SAGA Egmont, his engaging narration of these famous classics is available to readers everywhere.

B. J. Harrison has gathered some of the most famous and pleasant tales about Christmas in his collection. From G. K. Chesterton and Charles Dickens, through Robert Frost and Hans Christian Andersen, to Leo Tolstoy and O. Henry, this is a remarkable volume that praises and extolls the virtues and sanctity of the most wonderful time of the year.
