Outstanding production of a Christmas classic

Simply Christmas magic, an outstanding production, it is so wonderfully narrated by Mike Read, who brings such energy and warmth to this audio version of a true Christmas classic, coupled with the beautiful music from Andrew Stamp sets the perfect mood. The interview piece with the fabulous interview skills of Elliott Frisby was an unexpected and captivating bonus. I always read Twas the Night Before Christmas every Christmas eve, it’s simply not Christmas without. This new enchanting audio version will be added to my Christmas traditions, snuggled round the fireplace with a festive glass of mulled wine. Wholly recommend downloading this beautiful version.

Performance plus bonus interview with narrator

Was looking for an audible version of this poem. Narration took me back to when I was young. The accompanying music added to the pictures in my mind, ( a little like The Snowman). Poem was followed by an enjoyable bonus interview with the narrator for the adult me, with some very interesting facts about the author of the poem. Something for young and old. Would recommend.

I bought the audiobook for my granddaughter.

I loved listening to this version of ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas’ as it was brilliantly narrated by Mike Read, and had a lovely musical arrangement by Andrew Stamp. A must-listen for Christmas Eve!
And for those interested in the poem's history, there is a very interesting bonus, as Mike Read discusses how music and poetry can endure through time.
