Even though this is obviously a Christmas themed book, I borrowed it because it was a steampunk novel and I enjoyed the last book I read by these authors. There was nothing new here. I had already read all of these stories in The Books & Braun Dossier a couple of months ago. They just took all of the Christmas stories from that book and put them in this book. It was only 54 pages so I read them again and got to enjoy the story of Archimedes battling the home invaders all over again. I laughed during this reading, as well, and admit that since reading this story about him last month, Archimedes has also been in some of my dreams. I hope the authors write more stories that include him.
