A Christmas Story by Jean Shepherd

Posted by Riklaa on November 30, 2010 at 7:42pm

This audio production of A Christmas Story gathers together in one hilarious volume the gems of autobiographical humor that Jean Shepherd drew upon to create this enduring film. Here is young Ralphie Parker’s shocking discovery that his decoder ring is really a device to promote
Ovaltine; his mother and father’s pitched battle over the fate of a
lascivious leg lamp; the unleashed and unnerving savagery of Ralphie’s
duel in the snow with the odious bullies Scut Farkas and Grover Dill;
and, most crucially, Ralphie’s unstoppable campaign to get Santa, or
anyone else, to give him a Red Ryder carbine action 200-shot range model air rifle. Who cares that the whole adult world is telling him, “You’ll shoot your eye out, kid”?

The movie version of this is one of the absolute markers for the Christmas season.

Thanks!
