Christmas is the most famous holiday of the year, and the word itself evokes images of Santa Claus, Christmas trees, lights, the baby Jesus, and, of course, presents. Instantly, well known Christmas carols ring in your ears, or maybe you even picture nutcrackers or Scrooge and Tiny Tim.
Christmas Tales and Christmas Verse are a collection of Old English stories and poetry about the Christmas holiday, discussing both the religious themes of the holiday (Saints, the Three Kings) and the secular aspects of it (like Christmas trees). The collection comes from Eugene Field.
This edition of Eugene Field’s Christmas Tales and Christmas Verse is specially formatted with a Table of Contents and is illustrated with over a dozen Christmas-related pictures, including trees, the Nativity Scene, Santa Claus, historical depictions of the holiday, and more.
