About this listen

Random House presents the audiobook edition of Father Christmas's Fake Beard by Terry Pratchett, read by Julian Rhind-Tutt.

Have you ever wanted Christmas to be different?

Turkey and carols, presents and crackers - they all start to feel a bit...samey.

How about a huge exploding mince pie, a pet abominable snowman, or a very helpful partridge in a pear tree? What if Father Christmas went to work at a zoo, or caused chaos in a toy store, or was even arrested for burglary!

Dive into the fantastically funny world of Terry Pratchett, for a festive treat like no other. These 10 stories will have you laughing, gasping and crying (with laughter) - you'll never see Christmas in the same way again.

I really enjoyed listening to these short stories. Have listened to them several times on my Christmas travels.

Will be looking to get some more Terry Pratchett books.

Not one of Terry's best collections of short stories. I only bought it because a tv special show is about to be screened at Christmas and I had never heard of the title.

Nothing very much
