A Very English Christmas

Three Literary-Inspired Novellas

Celebrate the season with three timeless tales inspired by Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, and Beatrix Potter.

When Emma Grace Langley retreats to her grandmother’s antique shop in the snowy Cotswolds after heartbreak and job loss, she hopes to find clarity. Instead, she finds a collection of heirlooms—a portrait, a rare book, and a charming figurine—that unlock stories from the past. As each tale unfolds, Emma is drawn into the lives of three remarkable women whose lives were touched by England’s greatest storytellers.

In A Portrait of Faith, devoted daughter Violet Walford longs for a life beyond duty to her family. When she is asked to paint a portrait of lively Regency-era author Jane Austen, their unexpected friendship inspires Violet to pursue life and love with new courage.

In A Victorian Christmas Tale, Clara Reynolds struggles against physical challenges and family expectations while falling in love with John, a writer with ties to Charles Dickens. Their work at the London Foundling Hospital brings healing, hope, and a Christmas transformation that would make Scrooge proud.

And in A Tale of the Season, Edwardian heiress Arabella Graham escapes to the Lake District and meets a charming country veterinarian—as well as artist and children's author Beatrix Potter. With gentle wisdom and the peace of a country Christmas, Arabella discovers the joy of finding her own path.

Blending romance, inspiration, and literary nostalgia, A Very English Christmas is the perfect holiday escape for fans of historical fiction and classic English authors.

Don’t Miss This Literary, English Christmas-

Three lovely novellas woven within a present day storytelling. I enjoyed these faith-filled stories that bring Jane Austen, Charles Dickens and Beatrix Potter to life within historical romances of their fictional acquaintances.

The audiobook is produced using Virtual Voice, yet is a fairly enjoyable listen.

This book is suitable for teens and older with no inappropriate intimate scenes and no bad language.

AI (virtual voice) just can't handle dialogue.

I was looking for a light Christmas read. The book started out ok, and the story is lighthearted Jane Austen fan fiction, but the Virtual Voice simply can't handle dialogue well. I got tired of working so hard to distinguish who was spoking, and to sort out the meaning from poorly inflicted dialogue that I had to give up the book. maybe I will read it on kindle. VV can't hold a candle to voice actors.

It was a sweet group of Christmas stories, disappointed so much in the AI narration

I was super bummed about the narration and that they are starting to go to AI. While the voice was pleasant, there were many times the inflections or sentence structure were confusing based on how it was read. That was a real bummer and got annoying by the end.

Narration was not great

Not a fan of the virtual narration. There was no real change in voices and sometimes it was hard to know who was speaking.

Unique Christmas stories

Narration by A1 needs work, but still enjoyed it. Good story for Christmas! Like English author twist.
