Spirit of the Season

Summary

Narrated by Charles Johnston. Spirit of the Season is the incredible story of one man’s selfless journey to achieve the impossible. Set in the realistic and earthy environment of 18th-century England, Brian Lamont’s startling narrative also refers to some of the darker aspects of the Industrial Revolution and introduces the listener to a host of colorful characters who are brimming with old-world charm. As midwinter approaches, there unfolds a humorous, moving, and powerfully uplifting festive tale - for everyone.
