Bernard Cribbins reads this timeless story which captures the spirit of Christmas. If only his bare branches were crowded with stars, diamonds, toys and bright ornaments, thinks the little Christmas tree, how happy it would make the poor family in whose house he stands. So he sets out into the snow to make himself more beautiful—and his journey takes him to the very heart of Christmas. Also features The Christmas Story read by Stephen Thorne and six traditional carols sung by choristers and the Marlborough Children's Choir.
