a little short

beautiful short stories well narrated by all the contributors. I personalty would have liked them a .little longer, but they were made for 15 min. slots on the radio. Great length for children's bedtime stories.

Shall come out every Christmas I think.

Glimpses of Christmas

One of my favourite Christmas traditions had been to listen to the BBC tape set of these short stories but alas I no longer have means to play it. So it was with great relief to discover the Audible version.
A wonderful selection of Christmas related tales, a great way to celebrate the season.
