Filled with stories that have been part of the Christmas season for generations, A Vintage Christmas is a unique collection of lesser-known Christmas tales, reflections, and poems from beloved authors across the centuries and makes the perfect gift for the reader in your life. This beautiful treasury will take you back to firesides, simple gifts, and warm family moments of Christmases past as you cherish the timeless truths and joys of the season.

A Vintage Christmas includes stories from Louisa May Alcott, Charles Dickens, Ralph Henry Barbour, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Mark Twain, L. M. Montgomery, and William Dean Howells, as well as poems from Eliza Cook, Christina Rossetti, William Makepeace Thackeray, Joyce Kilmer, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

A Vintage Christmas is a perfect stocking stuffer, hostess gift, or keepsake to treasure year after year. Whether combined with A Timeless Christmas and A Classic Christmas or given on its own, this enchanting collection is a meaningful way to celebrate the season with friends and loved ones.

No description of who the authors are for each chapter.

The old adage I believe is true, “give credit were credit is due”. I would’ve loved to have known who all of the authors were for these great works.

Quaint collection

Some of these I liked. Good to keep your attention on the road during the holidays.

Table of Contents

It would be nice for this Audible collection of stories to have a Table of Contents and chapter labels that include the name of the story and author. Currently, they are simply labeled Chapter 22, for example.

Uplifting holiday collection

A nice collection of lovely Christmas stories and poems that are generally not familiar. My favorite was the letter by Mark Twain (Santa Claus!) to his children. The recording would have been much improved by giving the authors and titles in the the chapter list instead of just “chapter 1, chapter 2, etc”. It would allow the listener to keep track of the authors and titles they are listening to and also be a convenient reference for going back to individual stories to listen again. (I also have the Christmas Classics collection which does include that and is very helpful). Overall it’s a good listen to put you in a good Christmas spirit.

enjoyed it for the prose and poetry

the scales were tipped towards Christian content. so low on diversity but classic and elegant prose and poetry
