5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Christmas Collection, December 19, 2007

By	DSK "Toughgrits" (Georgia) - See all my reviews

I bought this book in December of 2006. It was an "impulse buy" at a local retailer and I guess I forgot about it, because I was looking at the books in my small library recently, and came across this book. I began reading the stories, and was thrilled that I had bought this wonderful little treasure.

Within this book are classics that we all know and love, and there are some stories that are new or less known.

Among my favorites:

The Gift of the Magi ~ O. Henry (pg.16)
The Cobbler's Guest ~ Leo Tolstoy (pg. 24)
'Twas the Night before Christmas ~ Clement C. Moore (pg. 105)
The Little Loaf ~ (pg. 190)
Christmas Day in the Morning ~ Pearl S. Buck (pg. 255)

This book is a must have for any library, and especially for anybody looking for added Christmas spirit during the holidays. Actually, these stories would probably be of better use if shared throughout the whole year, instead of waiting until the last month of the year!
