is an extensive and charming collection of 20 classic Christmas stories. Some are just a few pages long, others, such as Dickens' A Christmas Carol, multiple chapters. Some are even in rhyme. No matter the reader's age, he or she will find something, a few "somethings," in fact, to enjoy. And, why not, for represented authors include not only Charles Dickens, but Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Mrs. Molesworth. Now, tell the truth: did you know the author of Uncle Tom's Cabin also wrote a Christmas story?
