Summary
Settle in for the Victorian Christmas season with six illustrated tales, first published in Boston in 1884 for children and families to share by the fire. In the title story by Susan Coolidge, beloved author of What Katy Did, three pairs of stockings in a tiny shop chat through the quiet dark about their hopes for Christmas. When they are bought and hung up for three children, a single pink sweetmeat sets off a gentle tale of temptation and patience.
Five more stories follow, each with its own taste of the season: The Whizzer by Mary Hartwell Catherwood, The Patroncito's Christmas by F. L. Stealey, Cherry Pie by Kate Upson Clark, Bertie's Ride by Lady Dunboyne, in which a young rider is caught in a storm, and Asaph Sheafe's Christmas by Edward Everett Hale, author of The Man Without a Country.
With their old-fashioned charm, gentle morals and a different storyteller in every chapter, these tales bring back the spirit of Christmas past. A public domain classic for families, young listeners and anyone who loves vintage holiday stories.
