pickHuge fan of grumpy old men having their defences absolutely demolished by a little kid to the point where they are examining past life choices, realising they were the problem and making amends.
And Richard Armitage narrates it! Stay winning and listen to this absolute Dickensian-esqe delight this holiday season.

A good story that is reminiscent of A Christmas Carole. It is a timeless story about a wealthy nobleman that no longer remembers the pleasure of young children at Christmas. A friend suggests they hire a few children to stay at the estate during the holidays. He becomes smitten with the children especially Moppet.4⭐
I'm not finished with Christmas just yet. Sorry(not sorry).
Audible Original presentation of 1920s classic. Trying to knock out some the short things from my TBR!
pickThis was a very sweet Christmas time story; another Audible.
pickFinished this audiobook while #Audiosouping since everyone is feeling unwell.
This was a cute & warm Victorian story about family & forgiveness. Sir John is an aging, single, & somewhat Scroogelike man. Faced with an otherwise dull Christmas, Sir John & his 2 friends decide to hire children to liven up the holiday (cue rich white people statement). 😂 Although very predictable, it's a very sweet & festive story, a perfect listen for the season!
pickStayed up late to finish this! So great!! Sir John Penlyon is an older man and unmarried, with no children at home. He plans to spend a quiet Christmas with his niece and friend. The three make a plan to hire children for the holiday because Christmas is always better with children afoot. Their sounds, their games, their merriment! Penlyon reminded me a tiny bit of Scrooge. In fact the entire story felt very Dickens-like. A warm story, very sweet.
“I‘m sorry you don‘t like us, Mr. Old Gentleman.”
Halfway thru listening to this👆🏻which was the holiday gift from Audible this year and it is quite good. Unfortunately I cannot find a book or ebook to use to follow along, like I nearly always do. So I‘m reading on my computer as I listen. There are DELIGHTFUL illustrations scattered throughout. The illustrations 100% remind me of those in my copy of Great Expectations by Charles Dickens! 😍😍😍
Starting this one on Audible today, it's fairly short & under 4 hours. I'm also still trying to figure out if it's worth going out into a blizzard to meet with a client or to give myself a snow day & reschedule. Ugh, I hate snow! ❄❄❄
so-soI feel a bit like a Scrooge for this rating, but it was a bit too saccharine for me. A sweet story of familial love and reconciliation, it was well narrated by Richard Armitage. Of course, I would listen to him read the phone book, as long as he didn‘t attempt to do voices for young female children. *shudder*
pickThis was a sweet and sentimental little Victorian Christmas tale originally published in 1894 and the fact that it was a free member gift from #Audible made it even better. I loved the reading by Richard Armitage & listened to the story while making soup this past Sunday & putting together presents & such & then I finished it up tonight. A nice way to end the day & get ready to head back to work tomorrow. 💚🎄❤️
pickThis was a lovely little Christmas audiobook. It‘s a very sweet story and Richard Armitage was the narrator and was excellent.
Listening to this free holiday offering from audible. 🎄⛄
pickThis story is very Dickens like with all the sentimentality that should come with a Christmas Story. Enjoyable to listen to during the holidays.
pickA delightful story about an old man who, found wanting of Christmas spirit, takes up a friend's suggestion to hire some children for the Christmas holidays to inject some life and laughter into his quiet, lonesome world. What follows is a truly wonderful, albeit a little predictable, tale of the true meaning of Christmas. This was a free download on Audible and you would be a fool to miss out. It was an absolute pleasure to listen to this.
