About this listen
The first magical book in Matt Haig's festive series - now a major new film!
You are about to listen to the true story of Father Christmas.
If you believe that some things are impossible, you should stop considering listening right away. Because this audiobook is full of impossible things. Are you still there? Good.
Then let us begin....
A Boy Called Christmas is a tale of adventure, snow, kidnapping, elves, more snow and an 11-year-old boy called Nikolas who isn't afraid to believe in magic.
From the winner of the Smarties Book Prize and the Blue Peter Book award.

Wondeful
What made the experience of listening to A Boy Called Christmas the most enjoyable?
My daughter and I loved this book. We had listened to the 2nd book The Girl Who Saved Christmas first, without realising they came in order. It didn't spoil this book for us though as they are truly wonderful books.
Stephen Fry is the perfect Narrator for this book.
What other book might you compare A Boy Called Christmas to, and why?
I can't think of a book to compare to, but I can compare authors. In my opinion I would say Neil Gaiman and Matt Haig have similar quality to their writing which so many children's books do not have.
Have you listened to any of Stephen Fry’s other performances? How does this one compare?
Yes, and he's amazing.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
When Nicholas saw a side to his papa he never believed to be possible.
Any additional comments?
MANY MORE please!

Highly recommend
This book is full of excitement, giving hope and a smile to those who listen. Such a great book for the children to listen to at night time with a parent or grandparent over nights leading up to Christmas.
Well written and read

Father Christmas 🎅 for the win!
Engaging and a beautifully written Christmas Story. I read this to my Grade 3 class and the whole class love the book! We paired this off with the new released movie- as there are quiet a lot of contrasts between the two. Definitely worth reading to your children. 😊
