This has been my favourite for decades.

Here's a nice, clean complete copy of 'The Shepherd', a personal favorite of mine. I've had this cassette for some years and always meant to get it on here to replace the incomplete radio capture I did back in 2013. I've enjoyed this Christmas eve tradition since I was a child.

Thank you for uploading this! I listen to this every Christmas Eve.

[@BetamaxKing]

Me too!! Ever since I was a little boy!

@@BetamaxKing Me as well, we'd listen to this when I was a kid, in the car at night on the way to Christmas Eve church service. We'd wait in the car, in the parking lot even, to finish the story. Didn't matter how cold it was or that the service was starting, we'd always listen to the whole thing. The ending still gets me. Happy Christmas!

That's a great story too! Merry Christmas!

My Dad was a pilot, loved this story, and I always listen to it at Christmas time. To Dad, and all pilots. Happy Christmas.

Woh, what a real time presentation in good speed and excellent transcription of the survivor.

Que dire ? Sinon que Frederick Forsyth nous a donné là un petit joyau..... Et pour moi aussi, c'est une tradition d'écouter The Shepherd à chaque veille de Noël. Avec chaque fois la même émotion...

[@AutoCannonSaysHi]

Merry Christmas yea'll.

Pause for a moment at 10:14. You can thank me later.

The music intro makes it worse.

[@BetamaxKing]

Unfortunately that's the way this cassette was produced

[@emmceeee]

It's not *that* bad; it's just the intro. But there are other posts of the original version both on KZbin, or on the CBC Radio, and CBC Player sites.
