The meaning of
Christmas shines through this collection of stories. These are not
tales of Santa, elves and reindeer. These stories by well known
authors illustrate the deeper meaning of Christmas. They range from sentimental to humorous. In these twenty stories there is
something for everyone.
My favorites were
Riders of St. Nicholas, a humorous tale of cowboys left behind
to take care of the ranch while the rest of the ranch staff rides off
to enjoy a Christmas celebration. I also liked Pearl Buck's Christmas
Day in the Morning. This is a
sentimental story of milking
cows on Christmas morning.
The
book is illustrated with wood cuts that add an extra dimension to the
beauty of the tales. These stories can be enjoyed in private, but
they can also be read aloud for the enjoyment of the entire family.
I
highly recommend this collection. It can be a special Christmas gift
for your family, or for friends. It is a very lovely book.
I
reviewed this book for Handlebar Publishing.
