Told After Supper, by Jerome K. Jerome

We start with something that is not the usual Christmas ghost story! Jerome K. Jerome offers a humorous take on the classic British tradition of the Christmas Eve ghost story session. Then we hear Robert Frost's New Engliand meditation on the value of a thousand Christmas trees he didn't know he had, followed by a mysterious experience under the mistletoe from Walter de la Mare. We hear Alfred Lord Tennyson's passionate call for a better year to replace the old, and a better world to go with it. Then we hear who three wise and careful kings dealt with Herod and the infant Jesus, and finally we enjoy one of the greatest short stories in literature, the Nativity passages from the Book of Luke in the King James Bible. Presented on one disk by the Voices of Freshwater Seas.
