About the author

Sir Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch was a Cornish writer, who published under the pen name of Q. He is primarily remembered for the monumental "Oxford Book of English Verse 1250-1900" (later extended to 1918), and for his literary criticism. He guided the taste of many who never met him, including American writer Helene Hanff, author of 84 Charing Cross Road, its sequel, Q's Legacy, and the putatively fictional Horace Rumpole via John Mortimer, his literary amanuensis.

Reviews

Great Christmas short stories compilations from authors all over the world. Most of them were very moving and warm; some had amazing plot twists as well. Highly recommended!

Há algumas belas histórias. O "conto de Natal" devia ser praticamente um gênero na literatura.
