About this audiobook
The Twelve Days of Christmas transforms a familiar holiday tradition into a literary pilgrimage through memory, inheritance, faith, family, and ritual. Across twelve movements, each day builds upon the one before it, inviting the listener to slow down, remember, and rediscover meaning in repetition. Part of the Ritual Series, this second edition is designed not simply to retell the twelve days, but to experience them as a journey of reflection, remembrance, and renewal.
