Editor reviews

More Favorite Stories of Christmas Past is a collection of seven classic holiday tales narrated by Henry Van Dyke, whose grandfatherly timbre sounds like old Kris Kringle himself, and Joyce Bean, a performer with expansive character range whose wide-eyed retelling perfectly captures the wonderment of the Christmas season.

Featuring long-loved stories like A Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens, and "The Little Match Girl", by Hans Christian Andersen, in addition to lesser-known gems like Rosa’s Tale, by Louisa May Alcott of Little Women fame, this collection of tender tales of holidays long past are best listened to with a cup of hot cocoa, a cozy blanket, and a sentimental state of mind.

Summary

Tantor Media presents a collection of some of the most popular Christmas stories read by two award-winning narrators. This special anthology will transport listeners back to the Christmases of their youth, when they first heard these holiday tales. From Henry Van Dyke's classic Christmas blessing, "Keeping Christmas," to Charles Dickens's popular tale of yuletide redemption, "A Christmas Carol," More Favorite Stories of Christmas Past has something for everyone. Also included is Louisa May Alcott's inspirational "A Christmas Dream, and How It Came True," as well as four other Christmas classics that can be heard and shared year after year.

Classic Christmas stories

I was not as familiar with the early extracts in this selection, but a Christmas Carol will always remain one of my favourite tales.
the narrator dies a god job of injecting the right tones of solemnity, fear and dreadcwith the ghosts arrivals and brings the light tones of joy and a new start that Scrooge turns to in his new life.
A good start to my Christmas holiday listening!!
