Summary
“I went up to the Great House between three and four, and dawdled away an hour very comfortably....” (Jane Austen)
A holiday short story anthology with some favorite Austenesque authors, Yuletide is inspired by Jane Austen, Pride & Prejudice and the spirit of the season.

Critic reviews
“Harry Frost is amazing! I could listen to him over and over again, and while I am writing this I am on my third go round with this book.” (Jane Austen Runs My Life)
“Gave me butterflies.... Each story felt entirely unique from the others, while still cohesive in context of the theme, and the different approaches mean that there's likely to be a story here to suit most Janeites. The book feels tightly and thoughtfully curated, and I did, in fact, discover some authors whose JAFF I now want to look into!” (The Book Rat)
“He [narrator Harry Frost] has great versatility with historical and modern time, gender, age, class, and accents. He caught the tone so well of each story whether humor or drama. I would definitely listen to more of his work. ...I smiled, laughed, and felt my heart flutter and felt the spirit of Christmas through and through.” (Sophia Rose, Hot Listens)

Wonderful seasonal antholgy
Christmas is a time when magic and miracles seem to happen and Christina Boyd worked some magic and not a few miracles to bring the book version of this anthology of Pride and Prejudice-inspired seasonal stories together in a matter of a few weeks towards the end of 2018. All involved, both writing and editing, donated their time and talent free of charge so that all of the proceeds from sales of this fantastic collection could go to Chawton House Library, a charity that houses a remarkable collection of early women's writing. It's a place Jane Austen, the inspiration at the root of these stories, knew well as it was owned by her brother. As far as I'm aware, the charitable aspect only applies to the book version though, not the audio format.
The seven authors are all well known and highly thought of in the genre of Austenesque fiction. Two are set in modern times, the rest are Regency-set. Some are sequels, some take an alternative path for one of our favourite romantic couples. There is even a sprinkling of Christmas magic in one of them. All, without fail, are absolutely wonderful!
When I heard that this anthology was being released on audio, I simply had to use one of my credits on it, especially as the fantastic Harry Frost was narrating. His performance of The Darcy Monologues, from the same stable, was masterful. His voice is so well suited to this sort of writing and he seems to be able to change the pitch and tone of his voice at will in order to suit the characters and situations. One story called for an American accent and it sounded pretty good to this Brit's ears.
I won't say any more, as others who are far more eloquent than myself, have already done so. If you need an extra Christmas treat that'll leave you feeling warm and fuzzy all over, then why are you still reading my waffle? Go and get a copy for yourself!

A waste of a credit
The shortest stories ever that end just as they become interesting. Two of them are modern day eeeeek
The only saving grace was the Harry Frost narration.
