About this listen

The first magical book in Matt Haig's festive series - now a major new film!

You are about to listen to the true story of Father Christmas.

If you believe that some things are impossible, you should stop considering listening right away. Because this audiobook is full of impossible things. Are you still there? Good.

Then let us begin....

A Boy Called Christmas is a tale of adventure, snow, kidnapping, elves, more snow and an 11-year-old boy called Nikolas who isn't afraid to believe in magic.

From the winner of the Smarties Book Prize and the Blue Peter Book award.

I enjoyed the story but it was a bit darker and weirder than I thought it'd be

I was searching for a christmas story I hadn't read before, when, I stumbled across this little gem. This book is absolutely wonderful, funny sweet, gentle, a story for grown-up's children families, or anyone wanting a really lovely book to enjoy. I hadn't realised reindeer could be so naughty, listen and find out why. Plus you have the unsurpassable talents of Mr Fry.

Just listened for the second time, such a beautiful story to get me in the Christmas mood! And a wonderful performance by Stephen Fry! Will probably listen every year to get me in the spirit of things!

A lovely Christmas listen! For adults too!

My children loved this story (age 5 and 8). Sometimes it’s a struggle to find an audiobook suitable for both of them, but this was perfect. Then to top it off, we watched the film - which was beautiful!

Brilliant story!
