About this audiobook

Burgomaster Brent of the small Danish town of Hammel is in a bad humor. A reprimand has arrived from headquarters, and his pipe puffs out short, angry clouds. Yet he is the most beloved man in town. He is a hard master to evildoers, and many stories are whispered about the families he has quietly helped. Jacob A. Riis, the Danish-born reporter who wrote about New York's poor, tells this Christmas story of a stern but kindly town official. Read by Susie Hackel. Twenty-four minutes.
