I remember this as a child at home. It was in a big blue hard cover album. It brings tears to my eyes as well. I am having a classical christmas movie day on Sunday for a teen club I advise..I am going to play this for them also.
I am so excited to have found this. I think I have tried for years and finally here it is. thank you to whoever posted this.
Merry Christmas

Oh yes, I remember the big light blue hard album cover with something white on it - a dove or more likely an angel. I heard it on the radio this morning - just the end, and I was crying! I can't listen to the lines about his toothmarked dog's collar who "lived as he died, in infinite love and devotion." Oh my. I want to download this NOW!

I see comments about "The Littlest Angel" by Loretta Young but I can't seem to download the recording of it. Is it a portion of the record or the entire record? I just found this site today so am pretty new to this.

I loved this as a child and had a set of 78rpm records my brother sat on. I just found this website and it is wonderful!

Thank you for this recording.
My wife just found the 45 set on e-bay and bought it for me for x-mas. We do not have a player or way to record the 45 set, so I now can listen to it on your site.
I lost my twin sister back in 1948 @ age one. My mother would play this recording to me when I got old enough to understand that my sister was in heaven. It is very special to me.
Thanks again.

The first time I heard this story was in 1950. It was a Christmas present from my father. I still love it.

I can't thank you enough, I thought this was lost to me forever, I used to listen to listen to the 78 as a small child with my family. I will now happily share this with my grandchildren
Oh I have been shedding quite a few tears just now, brings back so many memories.

My sisters and I listened to this every Xmas from when we were very little until my 78 record player died. Our children grew up with this christmas tradition as well. Now I can play if for my grandchildren and I hope they love it as much as w did

I, too, was touched to find this as I listened to it often as a child. I'm intrigued to learn if anyone also knows what was on the other side of that record of childhood? My sister would LOVE to re-hear that story as well (a little boy who was deaf perhaps....called "Hey you!" in the story). Her birthday is coming up and I'd be thrilled if I could find it for her. Thank you to all!

I loved this album as a child, but for years thought that it was read by Greer Garson. It is such a joy to find it here. @Sandy, I think that the other recording was "Lullaby of Christmas," read by Gregory Peck. Regards to all, Kim

Oh thank you so much for having this year. Listening to this has opened up so many wonderful special memories of my younger days, extroardinary times, happiness and joy with people that have passed a long time ago. This means a lot.

I always love listening to this wonderful story every Christmas Eve. My mother first played for me as child and no matter how many times I hear this beautiful story I still break in to tears.Loretta Young's version portrays the emotion and imagination that this story evokes whenever I listen.No other audio version of this storycan compare to the waythat it is told by Loretta Young.
