About this audiobook

It's the night before Hogswatch. And it's too quiet. There's snow, there're robins, there're trees covered with decorations, but there's a notable lack of the big fat man who delivers the toys... He's gone.

Susan the governess has got to find him before morning, otherwise the sun won't rise. And unfortunately her only helpers are a raven with an eyeball fixation, the Death of Rats and an oh god of hangovers.

Worse still, someone is coming down the chimney. This time he's carrying a sack instead of a scythe, but there's something regrettably familiar...

Ho. Ho. Ho. It's true what they say.

'You'd better watch out...'

Excellent story with some bad edditing and volume changes. The narrator at times sounds like he's reading to himself in a hushed voice, few second later like he's screaming.

Abridged version read by Tony Robinson. Mr Robinson is a wonderful actor and does a wonderful job except he tends to use volume to differentiate characters which can cause the audiobook to need fast volume modifications at times.

This abridged version cuts out some of the best quotes from the book, while leaving portions that could have been removed to little effect.
