Five Classic Christmas Tales: Large Print Edition (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9782384556465)

Large Print Edition: Five tales in one book. One unforgettable Christmas journey.Christmas has always harbored two faces: the warmth of flickering fires and the chill of winter's longest nights, the joy of giving and the shadows that lurk at the edges of celebration.This collection brings together five masterful stories that capture both the light and darkness of the season. Journey from ancient forests where the first Christmas tree takes root, to a rough mining camp where an unexpected act of kindness transforms hardened hearts. Then venture into stranger, more unsettling territories-a mysterious Christmas night encounter, a murderer's moral reckoning, and a ghostly revelation that chills to the bone.Henry Van Dyke, Bret Harte, John Fox Jr., Robert Louis Stevenson, and Edith Wharton guide us through a Christmas unlike any other-one that embraces both the sacred and the sinister, the tender and the terrifying.
