The Christmas Eve Burglary (1906)

  • Arnold Bennett (27 May 1867 – 27 March 1931)

  • Enoch Arnold Bennett was an English writer. He is best known as a novelist, but he also worked in other fields such as journalism, propaganda, and film.

Thin Santa Claus (1908)

  • Ellis Parker Butler (December 5, 1869 – September 13, 1937)

  • was an American author. He was the author of more than 30 books and more than 2,000 stories and essays and is most famous for his short story “Pigs Is Pigs”, in which a bureaucratic stationmaster insists on levying the livestock rate for a shipment of two pet guinea pigs, which soon start proliferating exponentially.

  • Read by: GROUP: NAMES (27:23) - CUT HE SAID SHE SAIDs

Christmas Present Assurance Company (1894)

  • C. H. Grinling ( - )

  • aside from several books on trains and the history of railways in Britain, evidently, Mr. Grinling didn't do much else of note.

  • William John Locke (20 March 1863 – 15 May 1930)

  • was a novelist and playwright, born in Cunningsbury St George, Christ Church, Demerara, British Guyana.

Chambers Biographical Dictionary wrote of his "long series of novels and plays which with their charmingly written sentimental themes had such a success during his life in both Britain and America... His plays, some of which were dramatised versions of his novels, were all produced with success on the London Stage

  • Richard Marsh (1857 - 1927)

  • was the pseudonym of the British author born Richard Bernard Heldmann. A best-selling and prolific author of the Victorian fin de siècle and the early Edwardian period, Marsh's success rivalled that of contemporary writers of popular fiction such as Marie Corelli. He is best known today for his supernatural thriller The Beetle, which was published in the same year as Bram Stoker's Dracula (1897) and was initially even more popular.

  • Read by: Lars Rolander (1942-2016) (39:32)
