Summary
'Tis the season for witches, elves, and a legion of ghosts.
Not so very long ago, Yuletide was as much a chilling season of ghosts and witches as it was a festival of goodwill. In The Old Magic of Christmas, you'll rub elbows with veiled spirits, learn the true perils of elves, and discover a bestiary of enchanted creatures.
Rife with the more frightful characters from folklore and the season's most petulant ghosts, this book takes you on a spooky sleigh ride from the silvered firs of a winter forest to the mirrored halls of the Snow Queen. Along the way, you'll discover how to bring the festivities into your home with cookie recipes and craft instructions, as well as tips for delving more deeply into your relationship with the unseen.

Is this narrated by an AI text to speech reader?
Considering the interesting, dark and folkloric content of the book and the attempts at making the info heavy narrative atmospheric it seems like a weird choice to then have it read out by someone who doesn't seem to have ever heard human language before. The weird, droning, halting cadence is so at odds with the fascinating and well put together content that it's just jarring. I'll definitely be picking up a physical copy to read to myself though as the book itself was excellent, just let down by the stilted robo voice.

Droning voice
What could be an atmospheric enchanting book is spoilt by the fact that the narrator does not seem to be aware of what she is reading. Dull, monotone and disinterested. I can’t listen to any more, much as I wanted to. I’m hoping to return this title
