About this audiobook

Three famous men meet at Paddington Station on their way to the same Christmas house party in Cornwall. Sir Angus McCurdie is a physicist, Professor Biggleswade an expert on ancient Assyria, and Lord Doyne a celebrated empire builder. None of them can say why he agreed to go. Snow is falling, and the journey grows stranger than any of them expected. William J. Locke's short Christmas story, subtitled "The Story of Three Wise Men," first published in 1910, is read by Richard Stibbard. A warm, gently humorous tale about proud, clever, lonely men and what draws them together on Christmas Eve. A good pick for the holiday season, and short enough for one sitting.
