Christmas Dickens - More Ghosts

[debris4spike]

After James had a break he returned to read again ... so, yet again, no photographs were permitted.

The first one he read was Mrs Scrooge by Carol Anne Duffy.  Not an author I had heard before - or a poem I knew.  However, as I've said many times English has never been high on my agenda, so listening to James is educational ... Thank you, again, James!

He then read the first 2 chapters of Ghost Story by Jim Butcher.  Now, this is a story I know ... but again, started by hearing James read book 1.  He didn't do this audio book, so had said he would read a bit ... again, no cameras permitted.  About 1/2 way through he started frowning, and then announced that the paper wasn't fully printed, so he would go and collect a copy of the book.  He returned a few moments later with the book ... and reading glasses.  Just wish I dared have sneaked a photo.  It was lovely to hear Harry speaking again ... the series are great, but James brings that extra element to them.

I'd heard Mrs Scrooge once before, and another version similar to it, but it was so good hearing James reading them. Also, I didn't know he wore reading glasses. There's something I learned!

I had seen a pic of James in his reading glasses - just wish I could have got a photo!
