About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Beasley's Christmas Party by Booth Tarkington. Read in English by Arnold A melodramatic folksy Christmas story, a little like Dickens - with a Tiny Tim, but also with some romance. Tarkington's writings are very much set in his early 1900s American culture. We are meant to sympathize with the crippled child but not even notice the slights to the black servants. Still, Tarkington promotes kindness and uses a milder style of humor than many authors of his day. (Arnold Banner)
