Publisher's Synopsis
Christmas is a time of joy, peace and contentment. Most of the stories in this book were written over a hundred years ago, but they are as fresh and relevant as if they were written yesterday. The first story in the book is entitled CHRISTMAS - A Story. Written by Zona Gale, it tells of a town that, because of financial hardship, almost missed Christmas. The Old Peabody Pew by Kate Douglas Wiggin tells the heart-rending tale of a group of women who set out to clean and repair their decaying church building, and the unexpected result of their efforts. The Christmas Child by Hesba Stretton tells of unforeseen grief and sadness, but ends with a joy that will warm the heart of everyone who reads it. The last story, The Blossoming Rod by Mary Stewart Cutting, relates how a loving husband and father is willing to forgo his own private hopes and dreams out of love for his family, only to be surprised on Christmas Day by the love of his family. Christmas Treasury Classics is proud to present MORE CHRISTMAS STORIES, a book for all ages to be enjoyed over and over again by all the family.
