Twenty tales for the holiday season selected for their spiritual value and literary quality.
For readers who are tired of Christmas commercialism, or who feel that Santa Claus and reindeer don't tell the whole story, these classic gems provide a winning alternative. Selected for their insightfulness, spiritual value, and literary quality (nothing moralistic here) they project the spirit of the season in a fresh, compelling manner that will resonate with readers of all ages, from children too young to read to themselves, to parents and grandparents, who enjoy reading stories aloud.
Home for Christmas includes time-tested favorites by some of the world's most, beloved children's authors, Pearl Buck, Selma Lagerlöf, Henry van Dyke, Madeleine L'Engle, Elizabeth Goudge, Rebecca Caudill, and Ruth Sawyer, as well as, little-known European stories appearing in English for the first time.
