About this listen
“I went up to the Great House between three and four, and dawdled away an hour very comfortably....” (Jane Austen)
A holiday short story anthology with some favorite Austenesque authors, Yuletide is inspired by Jane Austen, Pride & Prejudice and the spirit of the season. Regency and contemporary alike, each romance was dreamt to spark love, humor, and wonder while you dawdle over a hot cup of tea this Christmas.

Critic reviews
“Harry Frost is amazing! I could listen to him over and over again, and while I am writing this I am on my third go round with this book.” (Jane Austen Runs My Life)
“Gave me butterflies.... Each story felt entirely unique from the others, while still cohesive in context of the theme, and the different approaches mean that there's likely to be a story here to suit most Janeites. The book feels tightly and thoughtfully curated, and I did, in fact, discover some authors whose JAFF I now want to look into!” (The Book Rat)
“He [narrator Harry Frost] has great versatility with historical and modern time, gender, age, class, and accents. He caught the tone so well of each story whether humor or drama. I would definitely listen to more of his work. ...I smiled, laughed, and felt my heart flutter and felt the spirit of Christmas through and through.” (Sophia Rose, Hot Listens)
The seven authors are all well known and highly thought of in the genre of Austenesque fiction. Two are set in modern times, the rest are Regency-set. Some are sequels, some take an alternative path for one of our favourite romantic couples. There is even a sprinkling of Christmas magic in one of them. All, without fail, are absolutely wonderful!
When I heard that this anthology was being released on audio, I simply had to use one of my credits on it, especially as the fantastic Harry Frost was narrating. His performance of The Darcy Monologues, from the same stable, was masterful. His voice is so well suited to this sort of writing and he seems to be able to change the pitch and tone of his voice at will in order to suit the characters and situations. One story called for an American accent and it sounded pretty good to this Brit's ears.
I won't say any more, as others who are far more eloquent than myself, have already done so. If you need an extra Christmas treat that'll leave you feeling warm and fuzzy all over, then why are you still reading my waffle? Go and get a copy for yourself!
Wonderful seasonal antholgy
