Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christmas Stories; Ballads and Other Poems; Tales WE have referred more than once in these notes to the relation subsisting between Thackeray and Dickens. To the superficial eye, the two figures always seem contrasted they were of the same generation, of the same race, of the same city; they both wrote fiction, and yet appeared to be at Opposite poles. If one brought out a serial novel in green covers, the other followed with one in yellow covers; if one set the fashion of Christmas books, the other was prompt to trim his sails to the same breeze. On the other hand, the admirer of Thackeray is apt to resent any sugges tion that his hero was in any way indebted to Dickens, and to be impatient of the kind of comparison which bids two authors stand back to back that critical friends may see which is the taller.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christmas Stories and Poems: For the Little Ones For just such a baby as this of ours, With eyes of violet and hair of gold, Was born in a stable one winter's night, In the wonderful days of old. Oh, listen! That dear little blue-eyed thing, Of lords was the Lord, and of kings the King. Mother says that a bright star, far from the East, Guided three men who were wise and true, And she says they knelt on the stable floor, And looked deep down in the eyes of blue, That they smiled and prayed, while the tears fell slow, For He was their Lord and their King, you know. And the shepherds, guarding their flocks on the hill, Saw the wings of angels glancing bright, And they fell on their faces, while hymns of peace Rang out through the Christmas night.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Strangers at the Door: A Christmas Story But, despite it all, in the eyes of these two peasants who moved ever southward, there shone a light which no darkness could quench. Singularly calm and confident were they. Simple as were their garments, hardened by toil as were their hands, and bronzed as were their faces, still there was about them such a fineness of manner, gentleness of spirit, and nobility of soul, as to make all who knew them show them marked deference. They commanded re spect without seeking it. In their veins flowed the blood of a long line of Hebrew kings.

William, the elder Billy she called him - was steady and true, a man every inch. Each night she thanked God for him, and prayed that he might be spared long to her. He was like the father whom God hau called home long since. And John, handsome and headstrong, impulsive and weak to a fault. For him she prayed that God would strengthen him - strengthen him to master the evil that threatened so often to down him. Thanked God for his loving heart but prayed, oh, so earnestly, that he might be specially kept in the Master's sight, that no evil befall him.
