Download or read book A Merry Christmas written by Louisa May Alcott and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2014-10-08 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of five beloved Christmas classics A Merry Christmas collects the treasured holiday tales of Louisa May Alcott, from the dearly familiar Yuletide benevolence of Marmee and her “little women” to the timeless “What Love Can Do,” wherein the residents of a boarding house come together to make a lovely Christmas for two poor girls. Wildly popular at the time of their publication—readers deluged Alcott with letters demanding sequels—and drawing on Alcott’s family and experiences in the abolitionist and women’s suffrage movements, these stories have the authentic texture and detail of Christmas in nineteenth-century America, while their emphasis on generosity and charity make them timeless embodiments of the Christmas spirit. Penguin Christmas Classics Give the gift of literature this Christmas. Penguin Christmas Classics honor the power of literature to keep on giving through the ages. The five volumes in the series are not only our most beloved Christmas tales, they also have given us much of what we love about the holiday itself. A Christmas Carol revived in Victorian England such Christmas hallmarks as the Christmas tree, holiday cards, and caroling. The Yuletide yarns of Anthony Trollope popularized throughout the British Empire and around the world the trappings of Christmas in London. The holiday tales of Louisa May Alcott shaped the ideal of an American Christmas. The Night Before Christmas brought forth some of our earliest Christmas traditions as passed down through folk tales. And The Nutcracker inspired the most famous ballet in history, one seen by millions in the twilight of every year.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In styles, methods, and ideas of Carol, Clements, and Milne comes a story that I hope you feel instantly at home with. I find it is similar to listening to someone telling a story on the telephone. Now and then, you know something has been said on the other end of the line. You know what it was by the conversation on your side. You have not heard it, but you just know. There is no doubt. With that in mind, this is a story that holds out the hope and joy of Christmas. It should be shared aloud while you are snuggled under something soft and comfy with someone you love, with a mug of something hot and sweet close at hand. If there are snowflakes falling past the streetlights, then that will be all the better.

Download or read book Sherman s Angels written by Gary J. Grieco and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the death of her adopted mother, a young woman spends Christmas Eve,1888 seeking to find her birth mother but discovers instead a multi-layered tale of family mysteries and touched souls. This is the plot of Sherman's Angels: A Christmas Story, by Gary J. Grieco. Gary is a Civil War history buff and he found inspiration for this novella while reading a first-hand account of Sherman's March to the Sea. "I stumbled across an obscure reference to an unusual event that occurred to a company of Union soldiers," said Mr. Grieco. "No, it wasn't cherubs descending from the sky - it was far more down to earth than that! Now I'm totally fascinated by the war's oddities, more so than the strategies and battles, and as such I could not get this little bit of quirky history out of my mind. I thought about it for two years while slowly weaving a fictional story around the historical facts. The result is a Christmas story that takes place from midday Christmas Eve to early Christmas morning, with flashbacks to the Civil War. It is a story of war, love and healing."
