The Christmas Collection

I had great fun choosing stories, poems and prose to celebrate Christmas. Shakespeare’s Bird of Dawning, Thomas Love Peacock’s Gryll Grange, John Clare’s ‘Decenber’ and John Betjeman’s jollity: old favourites and introductions to new delights. Enthusiasts and grumps, nostalgia and new hope: perfect to listen to while deck the halls with boughs of holly. From Naxos Audiobooks
