Fifty Shades of Christmas (Audiobook)
- +

Read by Tim Graham, Ghizela Rowe & Richard Mitchley (Unabridged: 1hr 9mins) 

Featuring poems from Robert Herrick, WB Yeats, Emily Dickinson, Arthur Conan Doyle, William Wordsworth, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow & many more. 

Over the centuries the Christian festival of the celebration of Christ has lost much of its religious element as it has morphed into becoming a convenient date for mass marketing and the consumption of excess food, drink and material goods to a now global audience.

But look below the glossy veneer of commercialism and we find a truer meaning, a moral message and guidance that whilst we may all want it watered down a little in these more secular times does contain some truths and principles for us all to enjoy better lives and better relationships with those around us.

In this volume of fifty poems our classic poets bring us everything from the tried and trusted view to the irreverent but mainly focus on their faith that can rejoice at this festival and makes us all part of the human race, its ideals and its joys.
