Description

This miscellany of Christmas classics is somewhat unique, due largely perhaps to its means of compilation. For these are the very stories and poems that Mark Blasdale personally reads each and every December, placing his good-natured soul well and truly in the Christmas spirit.Some of literatures most iconic names have picked up the quill or pen and created some of our most cherished and endearing characters, lines and verses; names that feature strongly in this volume.Presented for your delight and seasonal distraction is a collection of both universally popular and slightly less well-known masterpieces by Washington Irving, Romaine Joseph Thorn, O'Henry, Saki, George Grossmith, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, B.M. Croker, Mrs Alfred Baldwin, Christina Rossetti, Anton Chekhov, Hans Christian Andersen, George R Sims, Alfred, Lord Tennyson and of course the greatest of them all, Mr Charles Dickens.In addition, Mark has kindly taken the liberty of including one of his own short stories - The Public House - which he hopes will not offend the delicate sensibilities of the knowing reader.
