Wow just wow!!! This is how I'll always believe father Christmas was born. What a beautiful strong story. Kept me hooked from the beginning. Im rather critical when it comes to liking stories so it was very nice to be transported to my favourite time of year in such a beautiful heartfelt story. I could imagine this being a movie, i really hope one day everyone hears of this story. Merry Christmas 🙏🏽🎅🤶🎄
Also thought it was read wonderfully wasnt to slow or to quick . You pause when needed and pick up when also needed! Great job please you should consider doing another Christmas story
Such a magical story . I loved it and I will be listening to it every year now. I will be sure to tell everyone I know how wonderful this is . Thank you and I wish you all a Merry Christmas 🙂
I loved this story. I thought it was read by Stephen Merchant. It was read a little quickly but I enjoyed the contrast between the magical story and the speed of the speech mixed with the ordinary sounding voice. Well done
I think this has just become my Favorite Christmas Story! ♡ I Love Christmas! Your writing is amazing and I love the story! The audio is Fantastic -everything about it. Thank You so much for this treasure!
Thank you for such a lovely and meaningful story! Love this story and I listen to it often. My son likes it too but pointed out why he cannot listen so often, he feels it is read too fast. I do agree, but I am able to ignore it.
Thank you Krista. I think I was a little bit nervous in the recording studio and we didn’t have a lot of time! Say happy Christmas to your son for me. James
Glad you enjoyed it! Please download the book from amazon too.... www.amazon.co.uk/Boy-Who-Became-Father-Christmas-ebook/dp/B00R0LFTY4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1480445268&sr=8-1&keywords=the+boy+who+became+father+christmas
Yes! I'm recording 'Con of the Crannog' in the next few weeks. You can download the eBook here- www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01MTOC8JD/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1483198679&sr=8-1&keywords=con+of+the+crannog
This is a beautiful story. Thank you for uploading. My only request is that you could read a little more slowly so that I can fully enjoy the many truly wonderful descriptions here. No need to race through, surely ? I know it's a generational thing and I did slow playback down a little but then it sounds just slightly off. Cheers from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦.
Thanku for the story, but as I like to listen to this at bedtime, I would have preferred the story to b read a little slower, as it sounds like ur racing thru it!
@@jameswilmot1986 I watched it thinking it was your story and I was telling everyone I listened to this audiobook last year (as you will see from my comment I left last year). But I was confused when all the best bits were left out. There was no climbing out of and down chimneys, no bucket of coal... the story was too 'nice'. It is definitely a rip off of your story and I hope you can do something about it x
@@ashleighstevenson5814 Very kind words. Thank you. I first published the book 10 years ago this week! I think the audiobook is about five or six years old now as well.

Do you think matt Haigh has copied this story?
That’s very flattering thank you! I did watch his movie adaptation last night and there were some certain similarities…
