Yes, Virginia There Is a Santa Claus

By: Francis Pharcellus Church

Narrated by: Sandy J. Hotchkiss, Heather Wood, K. Anderson Yancy

On September 21, 1897, the New York Sun published what was to become the most widely read letter to a newspaper. It was sent by 8-year-old Virginia O'Hanlon, who lived with her parents in Manhattan. She asked, "Please tell me the truth, is there a Santa Claus?" Sun editorial writer Francis Pharcellus Church gave her an amazingly beautiful "Yes."

great potential ruined by principle narration

the narrator tries too hard to sound sensual, and comes off as creepy. the production is obviously well done, but the way the narrator is frankly bizarre.

do not recommend this version

this is my favorite Christmas story. The theatrics were way over the top to the point that I could not enjoy it. I ended up deleting it. I was let down.

3 minutes of Church, 8 minutes of credits

The performance was mediocre at best, but the good news is that they repeat the credits so many times that there is no mystery about who is responsible. They are repeated before the "article" is read, and then repeated so many times that you can't escape it. Then when you think it's over... they repeat the credits, almost daring us to know who is responsible. The best part of this is the relatively low price, but in retrospect I should have gone lower.

Guys voice is Creepy

The guy sounded like he should be doing sleep promotion ads, no emotion. Very ick. Had to stop within a few minutes, just couldn't get into the story. And I love this story.
