"The Owl and the Pussycat, by Edward Lear is here. Though strictly speaking, Lear's poem is not a Christmas poem, but it does express the fun and frivolity of the season and it is included.
In addition there is the moving story "Christmas at Red Butte," by L. M. Montgomery, "Yes, Virginia…" the famous editorial by Francis Pharcellus Church and " 'Twas the Night Before Christmas," by Anonymous. This is probably the most famous Christmas poem of all time. Clement C. Moore is usually credited as its author. However, there is controversy as to who is the actual author. So here we use the credit that was given in its original publication in The Troy Sentinel newspaper in 1823.
Jennifer James, award winning SAG/AFTRA actor narrates most of the selections in this audio book. And Brad Rearden contributes his masterful reading of " 'Twas the Night Before Christmas."
We are dedicating this Christmas audio book to the brave men and women of the American military and in their honor we have included poems that were written in wartime: "Christmas Bells," by Henry Longfellow; "Wartime Christmas," by Joyce Kilmer and "Noel: Christmas Eve 1913," by Robert Bridges.
In addition, there is a story about the Battle of Trenton, "Christmas Day: 1776," by Jennifer James.
A portion of each unit sold will be donated to the USO.
