Delightful stories of the proper innocence of Christmas. Bittersweet because this innocence is gone from our jaded society. Enjoy these tales because there will be no more.
Very Nice !

New stories from the time between this just past century and the early Victorian times !?! Sweet, fast, and entertaining!
A Gem of a Christmas book
Tom Wilcox
This is a perfect book for fans of O Henry's The Gift of the Magi. The stories are set in New York City around 1910 and have a nice urban Christmas vibe.My favorite story employed a Dickensian ghost. The twist is the person the protagonist is bought to help is nit one the reader would expect.
So heart-warming

I absolutely loved this! As a.43 year old woman, this tugged at my heartstrings and warmed my Christmas spirit. Part 4 was my favourite! It was read and produced beautifully, too! Thank you!

Pulls at your heartstrings. I thoroughly enjoyed it and so did my husband and four kids 8-13 years old. It’s a classic.
