Title: A Christmas Treasury of Yuletide Stories & Poems
Description: All nations and periods have produced a wealth of tales and poems, and in this collection the editors have selected more than fifty of the finest, traditional and modern, funny and touching. Charles Dickens is here with "A Christmas Carol" and "Christmas at Dingley Dell." Saki and A. Conan Doyle offer two little-known tales, there is a witty French story by Antoine Droz, and Leo Tolstoy gives us a deeply touching selection. There are poems by Robert Louis Stevenson, Robert Frost and T.S. Eliot, plus several carols and seasonal pieces from Spain, England and France. F. Van Wyck Mason provides a recreation of the nation's first Christmas at Valley Forge, and there is a special Christmas selection from Laura Ingalls Wilder's "Little House on the Prairie." Other authors included here are Ogden Nash, Bret Harte, Agatha Christie, O. Henry, Hans Christian Anderson, and more.
