"Albert dear, we are going to have a quiet family party at home here for the holiday, just ourselves and the dear village. It would be such fun to have you with us."

Faced with an invitation he can't refuse, Albert Campion is spending Christmas with the Turretts at Pharaoh's Court, along with the Welkins and Mike Peters, a young man trying to shake off his father's reputation. But when Santa Claus is implicated in a burglary, Campion's skills are put to use.

Christmas Fun

A fun little short story. Very entertaining with great characters and the narrator is awesome!

cute

Nice little Christmas story. Pretty obvious but fun. Didn't love the narrator but not a deal breaker.

Excellently narrated Campion short story

David Thorpe does an enjoyable narration of this Albert Campion Christmas short story. The voice of Campion is perfection. The story, though short, is good. Uncle Albert saves the day and routs the the thieves.

Campion

Always enjoy Campion! A quick yet good read for Christmas Eve. Going to look for more short stories by the author.

Great take

Albert is always observant and quick witted...sums up any situation ,not to mention party tricks and pleasant conversation...diamonds oh well yes...
