A COUNTRY HOUSE CHRISTMAS Phyllis Sandeman - 2022 Christmas Special


Listen Later

The darkest time of year inspires us all to reflect on the meaning and power of Home. Experience Christmas in a grand country house through the eyes of an Edwardian child in this charming reading of Phyllis Elinor Sandeman’s memoir, A Country House Christmas performed by returning What'sHerName favorite Jay Stelling.

Guest Jay Stelling is an illustrator, doll maker and storyteller from North Yorkshire, England, and an assistant at Mother Shipton’s Cave. She graduated in 2018 from Leeds Arts University where she received a First in BA(hons) Illustration. You can often find her making tiny dolls in her little attic studio with her partner and their two fluffy cats. Jay is fascinated by fairies and folklore, with most of her work centred around charming character and children’s stories, such as fairy tales and Yorkshire legends. Jay’s first children’s book Whistle-Stop Thistle is a story about recycling and reusing scrap materials. You can purchase her dolls, books, and more on her website.

Music for this episode provided by: Fiddlesticks, Nate Blaze, Random Canadian, Brian Bolger, Sir Cubworth, Aaron Kenny, and Esther Abrami. We are especially grateful for this exclusive new recording of “Christians Awake," arranged and performed especially for us by the wonderful Kira Zeeman Rugen.
