Critic reviews

"Another magnificent recording in the series Classic Children's Stories, this series looks set to replace the Andrew Lang Fairy Books as a nursery staple...." (The Independent)

Retellings of classic stories

Pretty good retellings of The Fir Tree, The Nutcracker, The Elves and the Shoemaker, and Good King Wenceslas, and a chunk of music by a good boy’s choir at the end. It’s weird they don’t say who wrote the stories or mention that they’re retellings. And the transition music gets really annoying after awhile. But other than that, well-produced and acted. Expanding Good King Wenceslas from a song to a story does make you notice how clueless and not really that helpful he is. The poor people are on your land—maybe you should change how you run things so they can eat every day rather than just this one Boxing Day!

Beautiful, well-narrated classic stories

This wonderfully narrated compilation of five classic Christmas stories is a must-listen. Each tale teaches a Christian virtue and is interspersed with pleasant music. The final track is a children’s choir exquisitely singing traditional Christmas hymns. Excellent job!

Excellent!

A wonderful listen while knitting and / or sewing Christmas crafts! I think I'll listen again!

The Stories

I purchased this blindly as I could not find a list of the stories included anywhere. There are 5 stories and one tract of just choir music.
1- The Fir Tree
2- The Nutcracker
3- Baboushska
4- The Elves and the Shoemaker
5- The Good King
6- Choir Music - No music

My Favorite part was Music

My personal favorite part was the music, the intire sixth chapter is Christmas music, it's the best part.
