The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent shape, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!
No modern popular writer has written about Christmas with more heartwarming enthusiasm than Bess Streeter Aldrich. Christmas, to her, means home. It is the time when families gather together in the spirit of joy and good will and humility. It is the time when many catch for a moment the abiding significance of our most beloved holiday.
Here, in one volume, Mrs. Aldrich's favorite Christmas stories, new and old, have been collected in a handsome gift edition. Included is her famous classic, "The Drum Goes Dead," the story of how one man regained the meaning of Christmas; there is the moving tale of a mother who discovered a new wonder in the season, even though her children could not be with her; there is "Star Across the Tracks," which reminds us that Christmas knows no boundaries—and a gallery of others.
In their variety, these stories—some dramatic and inspiring, some tender and full of warm sentiment—have caught the spirit that is Christmas. The ideal gift book by a beloved writer.
