About this audiobook
The Boy is thirteen and away at school in Versailles when a telegram arrives: scarlet fever. His parents drop their Christmas plans, cross the Channel that same night and settle in the French town to wait for him to mend. What follows is their account of a winter in Versailles, with its markets, its holiday customs, its snowy park and its ghosts of kings and queens.
Mary Stuart Boyd's A Versailles Christmas-Tide was published in 1901 and is read here by Tiffany Perdue. It is a light, personal memoir rather than a novel, with chapters on the town, the New Year, a haunted chateau and Marie Antoinette.
For readers who enjoy travel writing and a quiet holiday mood.
