Description from the publisher:
The audiobook edition of a rare
story David Morrell wrote to give to his friends at Christmas is finally
available. Featuring a foreword by the author, this is a novella that has
different meanings, depending if you're a child or an adult.
It's about the poignant friendship
between Father Christmas, who lives a hundred years before being replaced, and
Father Time, who lives only a single year before being replaced. Each year,
Santa sees a version of his friend grow old and die.
Now it's Santa's turn, but he's
having trouble finding a replacement, and if he doesn't succeed, there'll be no
one to take care of the infant Father Time, and time itself will stop.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THE HUNDRED-YEAR CHRISTMAS is a
stand-alone short holiday fantasy story.
The forward is about 1/3 of the 55
minutes of the recording. Don’t skip it
(at least the first time you listen to it); it’s worth knowing the background of
this story.
This is a story that reminds us
(once again) that Christmas is more about giving than receiving, that the love
should be embodied all year round, and that Christmas and New Year are more
than days on the calendar.
I intend to make this an annual listen.
Narration: The narrator, Owen
Moogan, does a superb job of presenting the story. He brings the magic of Christmas and Santa’s
dilemma to life.
