I read this wonderful story last winter - just in time for Belsnickel.  I grew up in rural central PA and this story just rang so true to my childhood world.  This is not just a story about Belsnickel and the old German traditions surrounding him, but it is also a story of kindness and character, qualities that are so often missing from modern protagonists.  I love it when you can feel what the characters feel.  Kathleen's style of writing pulls you into the characters and you really get a sense of who they are.  You won't be disappointed in this story.December, 2013 - I'm editing my review to alert potential buyers that there is a wonderful 3 Volume set available with lots more stories set in Marienstadt, along with a new novel - the Christmas Daughter.  You will not be disappointed.
