A Treasury of Old-Fashioned Christmas Stories

by Compiled by Michele Stung



      It has been a pleasure to escape from the tedium and hectic pace of the pre-Chistmas season to delve into this potpurri of Christmas stories. This book has been aptly titled. It is a vertiable treasure of 21 gems written by some of the most talented writers of the past century. The classic writers include O. Henry, Anthony Trollope, Louisa May Alcott, Paul Lawrence Dundar, and others. The stories run the gamut of humor, pathos, religion, nostalgia, love and nature. Each is a glimpse into the world of Christmas in time gone by, and renews our sometime buried feelings about the true spirit and value of Christmas.

This should occupy a special place on your library shelf, to be read as a tradition, along with Dicken's Christmas Carol.
