Publisher's Synopsis
""Why The Chimes Rang: A Play In One Act"" is a classic Christmas story written by Elizabeth Apthorp McFadden. The story takes place in a grand cathedral on Christmas Eve, where a poor boy named Pedro enters and lights a candle for his deceased mother. As he does so, he hears the chimes ringing, and he learns that they only ring when someone gives a gift to the Christ child that is truly selfless and pure of heart. Pedro's kindness and generosity are put to the test when he encounters a wealthy bishop who is in need of assistance. The play explores themes of selflessness, generosity, and the true meaning of Christmas. It is a heartwarming and timeless tale that is perfect for all ages.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
