Aunt Sass

Christmas Stories

De: P. L. Travers

Narrado por: Catherine Clarke

A collection of charming holiday tales, by the author of Mary Poppins - a timeless gift for all ages.



Each of the stories in this book was written by P.L. Travers as a holiday gift, sent to her friends and family and never published. Now millions of readers and generations of film-goers will get a peek behind the curtain and see how she used her life story to inform her fiction. Whether it is Aunt Sass herself - who is partly her inspiration for Mary Poppins - or the crass ex-jockey whose life work is not at all what it appears, the characters are unforgettable.

P.L. Travers wrote with a signature blend of sugar and spice; her characters, including Mary Poppins, are endearing, outsized, and cozy. The Aunt Sass Christmas Stories will delight any child - naughty or nice.

"Beautiful and charming."—The Independent (UK)

Not At All What I was Hoping For Or Expecting

Not only are these stories not for me, but I find myself wondering about how much fun they will be for the 5-7 year old target audience. The important fact here--something that doesn't seem to come across--is that these are not Christmas stories. By that I mean they are not really about Christmas. Instead, they are stories that were written to be given away to young family members and children at Christmas time. This means something very different for the listener looking for seasonal stories. The cover is misleading.
