Product Description
"If you’re giving one book for Christmas, make it this one." —Jim Trelease, author, The Read-Aloud Handbook
They are some of the warmest childhood memories, those unhurried evenings around the fireplace, Christmas tree, or dinner table, when there was time for a story. Now, with this collection, you can keep the story-telling tradition alive in your family, and pass it on to your children or grandchildren.
Home for Christmas includes twenty time-honored tales. Several are by world-famous authors; others are little-known treasures translated from other languages. Selected for their literary quality and spiritual integrity, they will resonate with readers of all ages, year after year.
With original woodcuts by David Klein
Review
If you’re giving one book for Christmas, make it this one.
--Jim Trelease, author,
The Read-Aloud Handbook\nThis 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
