Twenty tales for the holiday season selected for their spiritual value and literary quality.
If you’re giving one book for Christmas, make it this one. --Jim
Trelease, author, The Read-Aloud Handbook
This is undoubtedly the most literary collection of Christmas
stories to be published this season. The editors at Plough have
taken a conservative approach, eschewing sentimental claptrap in
favor of classic, elegant writing. There are some standard-bearers
here, including Henry van Dyke's enduring yarn The Other Wise Man
and Pearl S. Buck's gentle and touching story Christmas Day in the
Morning. Some contributions are deeply theological (Madeleine
L'Engle's Transfiguration) while others offer the dark, discerning
cadences of a timeless fable (Selma Lagerlof's The Christmas Rose).
The collection has an international flavor, with stories set in
Cuba, Germany, Siberia, Palestine, Denmark and Spain, as well as in
Vermont and New York City. Readers who crave literary excellence as
well as a heartwarming Christmas message will relish this carefully
selected and intelligent anthology. --Publishers Weekly
