About this listen

Here at Audible, we know just how much of an impact a voice can have on a story - taking simple words and filling them with elation, wonderment, tragedy, or pure satisfaction. We rely on our narrators every day to bring our favorite stories and characters to life - to introduce us to new authors and genres, or even to a new (perhaps longer) commute. And though our narrators are the best story tellers in the business, it's usually someone else's that they're telling.

This holiday season, as our gift to you, we asked 19 beloved performers to share their own personal holiday memories. With each story - some that will make you laugh, some that deal with loss, many that are filled with love and revelation - we, the listeners, get to know the person behind the voice with which we've grown so familiar.

We had a lot of fun putting this together, and we wholeheartedly thank our narrators for so generously sharing their voices and helping to brighten our holiday season.

From all of us here at Audible - happy holidays and happy listening!

Absolutely Wonderful Anecdotes

What did you love best about The Most Wonderful Tales of the Year?

I loved the reality of the stories, the voices I have listened to for years sharing their lives with us.

What other book might you compare The Most Wonderful Tales of the Year to and why?

There is really no parallel

Which scene was your favorite?

I loved the story by Kate Reading and some of the sadness she had early in life. Also how she was told she'd never make it due to her accent, and yet she did well.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Every chapter is an emotioinal roller coaster, and it was wonderful.

LOVED IT!!

This is the perfect holiday read (listen)! I enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you so much for allowing us a small glimpse of your personal stories. I also love to wrap presents, and I like to do it while listening to Christmas stories and I did that today while listening to yours.

Thank You!

The Narrators of a book/story are as important as the author. I think their talents are often under appreciated. I enjoyed getting to know some of my favorites. Thank you for the wonderful gift.

Holiday

I took great delight in hearing these holiday stories from Audible narrators. How different to tell your own story than to narrate another's work!
