Reseñas de la Crítica

"Slover's charming novella puts an adventurous spin on the Santa Claus tale." ( Library Journal)

Santa is real!

The simple truths and sources made an accurate story account about Santa Claus: I’m a believer.

A must listen every year.

This is one of the books that I listen to every Christmas. A wonderful twist on the Santa history.

A must listen every year!

I’ve listened to this story every year since it came out. The year it was released a radio station in our state performed it in four short broadcasts and I fell in love with it. It’s my favorite Christmas story.

My new annual Christmas Book

Would you listen to The Christmas Chronicles again? Why?

It's a little different from the traditional American Santa Clause stories. I really enjoyed the premise and the execution. It maintained a Christian connection without being evangelical. I think from now, every year when I'm decorating the outside of the house and buying for kids Christmas present charities, I'll be listening to the story. It will remind me of the rules regarding gift receiving once you've given gifts under Santa's name.

The best Christmas surprise ever

I accidentally purchased this on audible last year by clicking on the wrong thing while multitasking. For whatever reason, I was meant to read this wonderful, wonderful story. This year I purchased several copies used online to share with others because it lightened my heart and was so entertaining. So, settle in (with peppermint hot chocolate) & give it a listen. I am so thankful to the author for our new Christmas tradition. This year we listened with our boys in the car as part of holiday trips. Be of good cheer!

Great story and recording

Would you listen to The Christmas Chronicles again? Why?

A very captivating story. Couldn't stop listening. Had to listen to the whole thing as I drove home from my daughter's after Christmas. Because I heard a few episodes on Utah Public Radio before Christmas, I bought Cd's for all four of my children and their families. They liked it, too. This is a first-rate story and first-rate recording. Love the voice of the narrator.

Beautiful Christmas Story!

I have listened to this every year since I first purchased it. Always gets me in the Christmas spirit!

I Believe!

If you could sum up The Christmas Chronicles in three words, what would they be?

Made Me Believe

Any additional comments?

This is one of the most charming stories about Christmas. So many of our questions have been answered. For someone who holds Christmas close to my heart, I expect to see the road at any time.
