Very fun little book to read during this time of year. The stories varied from a Laura Ingalls Wilder story about Christmas on the farm, a story about a boy who lights a way to bring his father home by Barbara Raferty, to a story by Victor Hugo about a special Christmas for a little girl.

This book wasn’t for me. I love Christmas time, the season, the feeling but I was finding myself confused and lost with some of these stories. They weren’t bad, just lacking. Someone else might enjoy it. :)

A beautiful book

The book was a nice light read that I-finished in a very short time. I really like short stories anyway.

This was pretty good and I will keep it for my grandchild, but I think the best tale was probably the last one. The one called Colette, I really disliked. Other than that, they were decent.

Sweet. Ten short stories and five poems. Very nice and an appropriate start to the holiday season.
