Perfect for reading aloud, this charming collection of holiday tales is the ideal companion for anyone who wants to celebrate an old-fashioned Christmas. Fifteen seasonal stories begin with the Clement Clarke Moore classic, "The Night Before Christmas," which sets the mood for other lesser-known gems that recount tales of adventure, surprise, humor, and goodwill. Heartwarming illustrations from the 1926 edition complement "The Christmas Tree that Went Walking," "Why the Top Sings," "The Star Angel," "Old Mother Bear's Christmas Stocking," "The Story of Baby Gretel," and other vintage stories of Yuletide cheer.
