Vintage Christmas Tales: A Holiday Anthology is a collection of short stories and novels by some of the most popular storytellers of the last two centuries, meant to capture and celebrate the joy of the holiday.
In L. Frank Baum's The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus, as well as its sequel A Kidnapped Santa Claus, we see the origins of Santa Claus in the Forest of Burzee, growing from infancy into adulthood. Anna Alice Chapin and Glen MacDonough's Babes in Toyland brings together several characters from various Mother Goose nursery rhymes to create the exciting adventure of two children, Alan and Jane, in the titular Toyland. The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams Bianco is a wondrous children's tale about a beloved toy bunny come to life; and of course, there is the Charles Dickens classic, A Christmas Carol, the ghost story to end all ghost stories that follows the conversion of one cold-hearted Ebenezer Scrooge on Christmas Eve.
With these stories and many more, Vintage Christmas Tales: A Holiday Anthology is a collection that features tales of love, family, and the spirit of giving for readers young and old. Professionally typeset with a beautifully designed cover, this edition of Vintage Christmas Tales: A Holiday Anthology is a celebration of the joyous holiday reimagined for modern readers.
