Gr K Up
This beautiful sampler is an amazing treasure trove of holiday stories. Each tale has a different narrator which allows it to stand on its own. Among the nine stories are "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens, " The Gift of the Magi" by O. Henry, " A Visit from Saint Nicholas ('Twas the Night Before Christmas)" by Clement C. Moore, "Santa Claus at Simpson's Bar" by Bret Harte, the holiday editorial "Is There a Santa Claus (Yes, Virginia…)" by Frank P. Church, "A Winter Walk" by Henry David Thoreau, and "The Fir Tree" by Hans Christian Andersen. Only two stories have female narrators. Read at a nice pace and without the distraction of background music or sound effects, these stories will speak to every generation. Families will want to share these tales year after year.
