Old Christmas — Washington Irving, Talking Hologram Book
Hear the book talk first — this preview plays the book's own stage: a Reader reading Irving's English Christmas aloud in Amy's voice while Randolph Caldecott's own designs pass behind. The full book runs about 1.8 hours.
On the book's own stage, a Reader reads while Randolph Caldecott's own designs for the 1875 edition pass behind: the five Christmas pieces of The Sketch Book — Christmas, The Stage-Coach, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and The Christmas Dinner — Geoffrey Crayon's Christmas at Bracebridge Hall, read in Amy's voice, with “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing” of 1911 underneath. Washington Irving died in 1859 — his own words are read exactly as he wrote them: nothing added, nothing cut, nothing rewritten.
