Reading Magic
The Christmas Chronicles
by Tim Slover
The Christmas Chronicles will return to Classical 89 for Christmas 2010 - keep checking for new developments, including publication of the book and national release of the radio program.

Classical 89 presents The Christmas Chronicles, a dramatic reading for radio that captures the magic and the mystery of everyone's favorite Yuletide character--Santa Claus! Commissioned by Classical 89, noted author Tim Slover finally reveals a true and complete history of Santa Claus.

The Christmas Chronicles originated in accounts of the astonishing life and activities of Santa, recalled and told by the author to his children over the years. It all started with a strictly scientific answer to a child’s classic question: “How does Santa deliver all those toys all over the world in just one night?” That’s the query which unlocked the grand adventure to keep the magic in and the cynicism of the world at bay.
