Christmas Comes but Once a Year

Dive into a whimsical Christmas tale featuring the ghastly Brown family, a group of suburban snobs, and the dubious Captain Bonaventure de Camp along with his equally dreadful clan. At the center of this story is Soavo Spohf, the organist of St. Stiff the Martyr—gifted in music yet unfortunate in appearance and love. While this narrative may not be hailed as a literary masterpiece, it promises to deliver hearty laughs and offers a delightful glimpse into the Christmas traditions and social customs of affluent households in the mid-19th century. Join Ruth Golding for an entertaining introduction to this festive romp!
