When Santa Fell to Earth

By: Cornelia Funke

Narrated by: Cornelia Funke

Santa has landed in a whole lot of trouble! Thanks to Twinklestar, that marzipan-loving but lightning-shy reindeer, Santa and his caravan have come crashing down in a storm just two weeks before Christmas.
Luckily he’s (literally!) dropped into a nice neighborhood.
But Santa’s not safe.
The ruthless Gerold Geronimus Goblynch plans to put an end to children’s wishes and turn the holiday season into his personal moneymaking scheme. Only Santa stands between him and his grinchlike tricks. With the help of kids Charlotte and Ben, Santa will have to face Goblynch and his Nutcracker goons if he’s ever to rescue Christmas!Original text ©1994 Cecilie Dresslen Verlag

Amazing work

This book is one of my favorites. I’m so glad this app has it! Thank you for keeping the Christmas spirit alive.

Magical!

I got this for my five year old to listen to in the car. Immediately, I was just as interested as he was. The story is magical. It brings all the good things of Christmas into the story. I enjoyed the European flavor too. It reminded me of Christmas in Germany. It will leave you with a smile on your face!

Beautiful Christmas Story

I loved listening to this beautiful story this year with my children. It was magical and adventurous. The kids were always eager to listen to the story on car trips.

A Classic!

We read and/or listen to this every Christmas, for the past 20 years! Funke's book is wonderful, and she does a beautiful job of narrating. 🎄🎅

Charming and delightful.

A wonderful Christmas tale, and certainly a new take on Santa. I was delighted with this one.
