This beautiful, giftable Christmas collection features old-fashioned works from classic authors who invite you to a feast of holiday nostalgia.

Stories and poetry have been part of the Christmas season for generations, reminding us that the heart of the holiday never changes. A Vintage Christmas is a unique collection of lesser-known Christmas tales, reflections, and poems from beloved authors across the centuries and makes the perfect gift for the literature lover in your life.

Discover the charming story from L. M. Montgomery about love and sacrifice in a little log house. See Christmas through the eyes of a child in a New England colonial village with Harriet Beecher Stowe. Remember the reason Christ came to earth in the poetry of Anne Brontë. Share with your family the delightful letter Mark Twain wrote as Santa Claus to his three-year-old daughter.

This beautiful treasury takes us back to the firesides, simple gifts, and warm family moments of Christmases past as we cherish the timeless truths and joys of the season.

Narrated by an ensemble cast, A Vintage Christmas includes stories from Louisa May Alcott, Charles Dickens, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Mark Twain, L. M. Montgomery, and Selma Lagerlof, as well as poems from John Milton, Christina Rossetti, William Makepeace Thackeray, Anne Brontë, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

This beautiful collection features the voices of Laura Kirman (L. M. Montgomery and Anne Bronte), Gordon Griffin (Charles Dickens and Alfred Lord Tennyson), Eve Karpf (Eliza Cook and Christina Rossetti), Mike Grady (Samuel Taylor Coleridge, William Makepeace Thackeray, and Robert Bridges), Barry Scott (Paul Lawrence Dunbar), Henry O. Arnold (William Dean Howells, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Ralph Henry Barbour, and Joyce Kilmer), Nan Gurley (Harriet Beecher Stowe, Kate Douglas Wiggin, and Nora A. Smith), Brook Bryant (Louisa May Alcott), and Gabe Wicks (Mark Twain).

The old adage I believe is true, “give credit were credit is due”. I would’ve loved to have known who all of the authors were for these great works.

No description of who the authors are for each chapter.

Some of these I liked. Good to keep your attention on the road during the holidays.

It would be nice for this Audible collection of stories to have a Table of Contents and chapter labels that include the name of the story and author. Currently, they are simply labeled Chapter 22, for example.

A nice collection of lovely Christmas stories and poems that are generally not familiar. My favorite was the letter by Mark Twain (Santa Claus!) to his children. The recording would have been much improved by giving the authors and titles in the the chapter list instead of just “chapter 1, chapter 2, etc”. It would allow the listener to keep track of the authors and titles they are listening to and also be a convenient reference for going back to individual stories to listen again. (I also have the Christmas Classics collection which does include that and is very helpful). Overall it’s a good listen to put you in a good Christmas spirit.

I had seen the title over and again for a few years, but he hesitated to buy it because of its length. I prefer to get a little more contacts for my credits.

After sifting through several Christmas titles, I decided to spend the credit. I wish I had done so several years ago.

I am skeptical of anthologies, because inevitably you got a few duds along with quality stories. That is not the case here. Every single story was worth listening to and some were truly terrific. What's ,more, most of these are not the classics. There are a few that were duplicated in other books that I own, but most of them were new to me. The book is narrated by a cast and every narrator has a great reading style.

If I had one criticism, it would be this: There is some really great poetry along with the stories, but they’re all at the end. If I was the editor, I would’ve mixed them in throughout.

Also, if your budget, conscious, this title does come on sell from time to time. You might consider waiting till it’s on sale and grabbing it then. You will not regret it!

A cluster of gems

I loved the feel of the stories. All are by classic authors and the words make them stand out. We don't talk like that anymore. Each one was a wonderful picture of Christmas.

I enjoyed every story and poem. The narration was well done. I appreciated that there was no background music; The words needed no help.

I enjoyed the book. I love Christmas and these short stories reminded me of the ones I heard when I was a child. Very well performed!

I was looking for just a little more Christmas following Christmas, and this collection of stories and poems fit the bill. Most of the poems were familiar (but welcome!), but many of the stories I had not heard before. I was very pleased. (A small quibble is that I would have liked the chapters indexed as something more useful than “Chapter 1”.)

Great selection of Christmas stories, well performed
