A magical selection of stories for Christmas time

An entertaining selection of stories to get you in the mood, including “The Gift of the Magi” by O.Henry, “The Reluctant Dragon” by Kenneth Grahame, “A Kidnapped Santa Claus”by L. Frank Baum and “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens.

Kenneth Grahame's classic tale of a young boy who discovers an erudite, mushroom-loving dragon living in the Downs above his home. The two become friends, but soon afterwards the dragon is discovered by the townsfolk, who send for St George to rid them of it. St George, by this time, is quite elderly and has little interest in slaying dragons, though he resolves to do it as it is his duty. The boy introduces St George to the dragon, and the two decide that it would be better for them not to fight.

Since 1903, the escapades of Mole, his friend Water Rat, shy Badger, and Toad of Toad Hall have delighted children, and adults, too. Follow the winning foursome through the seasons as they sail the river, get lost in the Wild Wood, take off on a merry adventure in Toad's colorful carriage, and rescue Toad Hall from a band of nasty marauding weasels.

Written by the author of The Wind in the Willows, this collection of imaginative tales includes "Dies Irae", "Mutabile Semper", "The Magic Ring", "Its Walls Were as of Jasper", "A Saga of the Seas", "The Reluctant Dragon", and "A Departure".

"The only really living people are children," said Kenneth Grahame, and here the magical life of childhood is played out with vivid imagination as a group of children view themselves as the heroes and the adults in their world as "the Olympians".

The Golden Age is a collection of Kenneth Grahame's reminiscences of childhood, notable for their conception of a world where children are locked in perpetual warfare with the adult "Olympians" who have wholly forgotten how it feels to be young - a theme later explored by J. M. Barrie and other authors.

When a dragon is discovered up on the Downs, the Boy is not in the least surprised. He's always known the cave there was a dragon cave, so it seems only right for a dragon to be living in it. The Boy decides to pay a visit to the cave, and he thinks he knows just what to expect. But this particular dragon is not a bit like the ones in fairy tales!

This new, mixed-voice adaptation of Kenneth Grahame's classic children's tale introduces the friends Mole, Ratty, Badger, and Mr. Toad. It starts when Mole takes a break from his spring-cleaning and meets up with the adventurous rodent. In the Wild Wood, Ratty and Mole meet the reclusive Badger, and the friends, together with the irrepressible Mr. Toad, have many exciting adventures and mishaps. The Wind in the Willows is a timeless classic, loved by children and adults alike.

From the author of The Wind in the Willows comes this story of a boy who befriends a lazy, but quite pleasant dragon that takes up residence nearby. When the townspeople call in St. George, the eminent dragon-slayer, to do battle, it's up to the boy to sort things out - and stick up for his newfound friend. It's a hilarious story that will have you cheering for the dragon and his pal.

This second volume of curated children’s classics will take you on a rhyming journey with elephants, cheetahs and rhinos in Just So Stories, delve into the world of Mole, Toad, Rat and Badger in The Wind in the Willows and through the streets of London with a beautiful horse in Black Beauty. These classic children’s stories are read by actress and presenter Angela Rippon, Shakespearean actor Sir Michael Horden and star of stage and screen Patrick Wymark.

When the shy Mole pokes his nose out of his burrow, he is enchanted by the world up top. He meets Toad of Toad Hall, Ratty and Badger and embarks on a series of adventures and escapades with them. Star of screen and stage Patrick Wymark voices this beguiling tale of animal friends, which has been delighting adults and children alike for more than 100 years.

This is a classic fantasy story about four animals who behave like humans. They talk, philosophize, and emphasize friendship but also keep their animal habits. They are Mole, Rat, Toad, and Badger. There are some adult books enjoyed by children and some children’s books enjoyed by adults. However, this one appeals to both because it stresses a main theme of doing your best at all times, forgiving others, and setting a goal to make the world a better place.
