Charles van Sandwyk reads Fairies Christmas

Tis the Season for Charles van Sandwyk … but then again, it’s always the season for our charming and talented writer and illustrator!

This year Charles has opened his generous heart, and a copy of Fairies Christmas to read to you! Yes, right in your own home.

We have been so blessed to have such a long and wonderful connection to Charles. He has enchanted audiences at live readings in Bowser, generously spending time with people to sign their books afterward.

There is no other description for his work except MAGICAL. Each of his stories transports you to another time and place. You become fully immersed in the wonder and joy of the worlds he creates through words and images.

I love to embellish with borders and decorations.

I am often, and quite accurately, accused of over-romanticizing my subjects.

In all of my work I have tried to create a gentle world in which to escape.

Well, this is a good year to plan a little escape … so here we offer the recording of Charles reading Fairies Christmas. (Note: he did this for a young friends' school, but generously agreed to share it with us).
