Aunt Sass: Christmas Stories by P.L. Travers
2.0
Why did I finish listening to this?
This is made up of three stories: Aunt Sass, Ah Wong, and John Delaney. None of the stories are Christmas related despite the title of this collection. Aunt Sass was mildly entertaining, but the other two stories were awful. There were racist undertones, but given the era of writing I suppose that's to be expected- not that it's acceptable in any way, but historically accurate. I was also very uncomfortable with the main characters trying to convert their Chinese servant to Christianity without actually explaining salvation to him whatsoever, but rather to benefit themselves in some twisted way.
