The experience creates the ideal blend of focus and relaxation to help you become more centered and calm at the end of the day. Jesse Israel was a successful music executive running his own label when debilitating anxiety and panic attacks forced him to step back and seek help. When he found meditation, it inspired him to switch gears in a big way.

These things allow you to completely unplug and connect with the present moment to intentionally prepare for sleep.

In 10 lectures, award-winning historian Patrick N. Allitt transports listeners to England in the 1840s and 1850s. During those two decades, Queen Victoria's husband, Prince Albert, became one of the most influential people in the country and remains a figure of fascination even today. In fact, the British royal family as we know it wouldn't exist without the private and public actions of this detached, impartial, and upright political figure.

This hilarious, heartfelt, and soaring adventure will delight fans of The Goonies and Indiana Jones. Performed as a 1930s radio drama, it’s bursting with humor for all ages, orchestral scoring, and some of the most talented voices on Broadway. When their ace pilot parents (and adorable puppy) mysteriously disappear over the Pacific, the Flamingo Sisters - Flo, Faye, and Franny - escape the clutches of their evil Uncle Freidrich (who believes girls should never pilot aeroplanes) and join a flying circus.

For thousands of years, there has been a cycle: a Demon King rises and conquers, and a Hero is reborn a hundred years later to defeat him. Each time, civilizations are ground to dust beneath the Demon King's hordes, but humanity has remained secure in the belief that a Hero of legend will always save them. There's just one slight problem. It's only been 23 years since the Demon King's latest rise, and this time, he's already conquered more than half the world. If humanity simply waits for the Hero's return, there may be no world left for him to save.

Publisher's Summary
Here at Audible, we know just how much of an impact a voice can have on a story - taking simple words and filling them with elation, wonderment, tragedy, or pure satisfaction. We rely on our narrators every day to bring our favorite stories and characters to life - to introduce us to new authors and genres, or even to a new (perhaps longer) commute. And though our narrators are the best story tellers in the business, it's usually someone else's that they're telling.
This holiday season, as our gift to you, we asked 19 beloved performers to share their own personal holiday memories. With each story - some that will make you laugh, some that deal with loss, many that are filled with love and revelation - we, the listeners, get to know the person behind the voice with which we've grown so familiar.
We had a lot of fun putting this together, and we wholeheartedly thank our narrators for so generously sharing their voices and helping to brighten our holiday season.
From all of us here at Audible - happy holidays and happy listening!

Is Some Kind of White Elephant Gift?
While I like the idea of hearing more about where some of our favorite audible narrators came from -- in their own words -- this is a strange little bonus gift for listeners -- like that white elephant gift nobody at the party wants to take home.
Essentially, this a collection of Christmas Cards from some of Audible's favorite narrators. And while I liked hearing about where Jonathan Davis grew up, or Scott Brick's geeky holiday traditions, and Kate Reading's thoughts on clinging to the light amidst the darkness, it's hard to get beyond the feeling that this is just an odd sort of holiday smorgasbord for Audible listeners. I think it would've worked better if it had been distributed on Audible Channels somehow, or on the blog? Honestly, as a collection of stories, I don't understand why it was organized this way.
It's a nice thought but it's not Charles Dickens, Hans Christian Andersen, or any of the others we've received over the years. They're voices most of us love, but as a whole it's wrapped haphazardly.

Sweet Christmas Gift from Audible
If you could sum up The Most Wonderful Tales of the Year in three words, what would they be?
Merry Christmas Readers!
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Most Wonderful Tales of the Year?
The Christmas Beef Exception
What about the narrators’s performance did you like?
All of the narrators were wonderful and it was really unique to hear them tell their holiday stories.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I did listen to it in one sitting.
Any additional comments?
This was a free gift from Audible to members in Dec 2016. I really loved the idea that they asked their popular narrators to share beloved holiday memories. I enjoyed all the stories and they helped me get into the holiday spirit. It is so nice to see that even though so many families have diverse traditions, the general spirit of family, camaraderie, and love is preserved throughout.

Thanks for the Memories
What did you love best about The Most Wonderful Tales of the Year?
Being included in the lives of our favorite narrators
Which character – as performed by the narrators – was your favorite?
I have a vast Audiobook collection and many narrators in this book I've heard in one form or another. All of whom I appreciate and thank for sharing a part of their life, but Katherine Kellgren was with me during a particular rough patch of my life. So I wanted to send a warm and thankful shout-out for her personal Christmas story as I not only felt deep respect for her, but now a connection with a holiday tradition as well. I too have a version of a "Felt ornament" that I hold close. It's stupid, its silly and it comes with a flood of memories over a "Dukes of Hazzard" General Lee tree decoration. It's a little Shrinkie-Dink from back in my childhood dates but it means the world to me. Out of all the stories told in this audiobook, this is the one I most related too, AND it was from my favorite narrator to boot.
But my thanks runs deeper than that. The Bloody Jack series (although not my genre or age range) helped me through trying time in my life and because of it I became a stronger and better person in the end. So with much respect and admiration, Thanks! your portrayal of Mary Faber and friends helped a random stranger. God Bless!
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Loved Therese Plummer's story of passing along the Christmas Carol tradition.

What disappointed you about The Most Wonderful Tales of the Year?
What a cheap present audible. Bad idea. Who cares about narrators personal stories. You would have been better off not giving a gift at all because now i see you as misguided and cheap. Thanks for WASTING my valuable time!! Next time, how about a free credit instead?!? That is a real present.

Waste of time
The personal Christmas memories of narrators is of zero interest. It's fine to make the annual holiday freebie a public domain offering, but at least you can draw from excellent writing. This is pure masturbation.

What a Gift!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Great stories of different traditions that vary in content but not importance!
What did you like best about this story?
