Well-narrated Christmas poetry

I enjoyed listening to this Christmas poetry collection. Some old favorites and some that were new to me. I very much appreciated the reader as well. My only complaint was that it was too short!

Good stories, not keen on the narrator

A nice selection of Christmas poems. The narrator reads with conviction but I find his accent gets in the way of my enjoyment. Simon Cliffe's accent sounds what I think of as Cockney, and "to" sounds like "tu" (short "u"), "wild" sounds like "wiwde", and "pawing" like "poring". I prefer a narrator who has a more neutral accept or who can incline his accent to suit the selection...
