Download or read book Christmas Books written by Charles Dickens and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christmas Books: A Reprint of the First Editions, With the Illustrations, and Introduction, Biographical and Bibliographical, by Charles Dickens the Younger This little book, which with Pickwick and David Copperfield the distinction of being the most universally popular of all the works of Charles Dickens, was the result of a remarkably rapid feat of composition. In the early part of October, 1843, the idea of the story first occurred to its author, who was then on a visit to Manchester, and before the end of November it was finished, having been written in such spare moments as were not taken up by the two numbers of Martin Chuzzlewit which were in hand during those two months. Written at such high pressure it produced a wonderful effect on its author. "Over which Christmas Carol," he wrote to Professor Felton on the 2d of January, 1844, "Charles Dickens wept, and laughed, and wept again, and excited himself in a most extraordinary manner in the composition; and thinking whereof he walked about the black streets of London, fifteen and twenty miles, many a night when all the sober folks had gone to bed.... To keep the Chuzzlewit going, and to do this little book the Carol in the odd times between two parts of it was, as you may suppose, pretty tight work. But when it was done I broke out like a madman. And if you could have seen me at a children's party at Macready's the other night, going down a country-dance with Mrs. M., you would have thought I was a country gentleman of independent property residing on a tip-top farm, with the wind blowing straight in my face every day."

Download or read book Jingle Bells written by John Harris and published by Peachtree Publishing Company. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The unexpected story of the creation of a holiday classic - in the most unlikely of places. It is November 1857 in Savannah, Georgia, and the heat is stifling. Choir director James Lord Pierpont is busy writing a song for the children of the church to perform to usher in the holiday season. He is also worried. Many townspeople are angry because the congregation does not believe in slavery, and someone has thrown a brick through one of the church windows. As Mr. Pierpont sweeps up the glass from the broken window, he recalls his own Boston childhood, and he suddenly gets an idea. A few days later - with singing children, jingling bells, and bags of "snow" - Mr. Pierpont introduces the delighted churchgoers to the charms of a northern Christmas In this terrific match of John Harris's entertaining text and Adam Gustavson's endearing illustrations, readers learn about the unexpected origins of a Christmas classic that was written during a Savannah heat wave. Harris's story also includes many interesting connections with Savannah, Unitarians, and freed slaves all playing a role in the story behind the song.
Download or read book A Topsy Turvy Christmas Classic Reprint written by Elizabeth F. Guptill and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Topsy-Turvy Christmas Frank and Alice wear the usual school clothes of children of their ages. Marg, the tiny Grandmother, has her hair powdered, parted in the middle, and combed down over her ears. She wears a cap, and spectacles, from which the lenses have been removed. Her dress is long, of gray material, with white apron and kerchief, which may be on wrong side to. Mom, the children's mother, wears her hair high, her dress long. This dress is preferably a wrapper or tea-gown worn "hind side before." She wears an apron, also, one of the round, tea aprons, either behind or over one hip. She may have a lace collar, pinned behind. Dad wears long trousers, with his socks pulled up outside, a swallow tail coat, and vest, both "hind side before." Ecila wears a very short dress, white, or light colored, with a sash of some other color, preferably red, tied in front. She may wear beads, which hang down her back. If her hair is long, part it, comb each side up to the top, and begin to braid there. Braid tightly, and loop it, so loops will stand out and up pinning into place, if necessary. Tie ribbons around base of loops. If her hair has the Dutch cut, bring the top hair, which is left longer, as far as possible, and tie a ribbon around it, so that it stands up in the front, just over the forehead, being the bow. She has short socks. Knarf wears short trousers - decidedly short - with frills at the bottom of bright color. His blouse may be Russian or sailor, but must be on "hind side before," and have collar and cuffs of bright color. A suit of green and white awning stripe, with bright pink trimmings, would be very effective. Comb his hair in any peculiar way that that particular boy's hair can be coaxed to stay. His stockings are long, striped around with bright blue. Derf should have a wig, if at all possible, of long curls. Tie one or two up on the side, with a blue ribbon. He has short socks, and knickers of material to match his dress, that end above the knee. The dress may be a kilted skirt and a sailor or middy blouse of white, with blue trimmings. A sash, with tassels, passes round his waist, and knots at one side. The big sailor collar should be in front, instead of behind. The Teacher wears a cap and gown, like those of graduates, wrong side to. He may have glasses. The Spankety Man is dressed in a dark red cambric garment, with tight-fitting waist and trousers, in one.
