Great Classic Holiday Stories by Various Authors and Various Narrators


Great Classic Holiday Stories by Various Authors and Various Narrators
From Audiogo
I think this would be a great audiobook for a family road trip on the way to grandma’s house for Christmas! My favorite was The Tailor of Gloucester by, Beatrix Potter narrated by, Jane Carr fun story and great narration.

A Christmas Carol by, Charles Dickens narrated by, John Mawson
I have to admit to listening to A Christmas Carol narrated by, Tim Curry last year and I absolutely loved it so was hard to compare this narration with the wonderful Curry. Still a good adaptation.

Christmas at Red Butte by, Lucy Maud Montgomery narrated by, Dana Green
This was a touching story reminiscent of the Gift of the Magi, good narration.

Yes Virginia There is a Santa Claus by, Francis Marcelis Church narrated by, Paul Boehmer
The adorable letter we all know and love plus Paul Boehmer win, win!

The Tailor of Gloucester by, Beatrix Potter narrated by, Jane Carr
This was a really fun story and great narration, this would be a good one for kids they will enjoy the story and the narration, the narrator did a lot of fun voices of the mice and the cats. Fun Stuff!

Twas the Night before Christmas by, Clement Clark Moore Narrated by, Gregory Itzen
This all too familiar story was made better by the little biography about the author as a prelude to the story.

The Gift of the Magi by, O Henry narrated by, Paul Boehmer
This has always been one of my all time favorite stories made even better by the wonderful Paul Boehmer’s narration!

Peace on Earth Goodwill to Dogs by, Eleanor Halliwell Abbott narrated by, Dana Green
Cute little story that did get a little long but still cute. The narrator sounds like Beth Broderick who played Aunt Zelda on Sabrina the Teenage Witch not a bad thing but could have sworn that is who the narrator was.

The Christmas Surprise at Enderly Road by, Lucy Maud Montgomery narrated by, Paul Boehmer
This one didn’t grab me at all.

Old Christmas by, Washington Irving Narrated by, Gregory Itzen
Enjoyed the narration of this one his voice is similar to Len Cariou a little gravely which I always enjoy I like a voice with personality and Gregory has that. This story did drag on a bit but was good.
Overall 3 ½ stars

Full disclosure I received this audiobook from the Audiobookjukebox and the publisher for a fair and honest review.
