JEREMY: A CHRISTMAS STORY

Every minute of Jay O'Callahan's tale projects a sense of delight. This is his style--he projects the wide-eyed, wonder-filled view of his characters. His enthusiasm is engaging but doesn't overwhelm. His variety of pace and timing is astute. The main story of Jeremy and his boyhood dream of giving gifts is a charmer. O'Callahan unfolds the story with measured steps as he draws in adult listeners, who may cynically think they "know" the story. Children will be with him from the start. This is a Christmas classic many listeners will want to adopt into their traditions. R.F.W. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT 94]
