original radio drama

It is an abridged version of the novel done for radio broadcast with the great Orson Welles as the narrator and star. Its a good story that I feel might have lost dune interesting detail from the conversion. If you liked it. check out Yes Virginia there is a Santa Claus by John C. Wright for a modern version of the tail. Its in his short collection The book of feasts and seasons.
