Gifts of the Child Christ - 2 Volume Set

From the the titular story of a neglected child who restores her family through a heart-rending discovery on Christmas, to the great fairy tale "Photogen and Nycteris," about two children raised in isolation by a witch, these stories are marked by rich diversity in content and style. Yet the common current running through all of them is the simple image of Christ, revealing himself quietly in the many and varied expressions of human love.
