Book Overview

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.

Featuring:

The First Christmas Tree by Henry Van Dyke - A forest miracle becomes the symbol of faith and light.

How Santa Claus Came to Simpson's Bar by Bret Harte - A group of rough miners give a sick child a Christmas to remember.

Christmas Night with Satan by John Fox Jr. - A sharp, unsettling dialogue with the Devil on Christmas Eve.

Markheim by Robert Louis Stevenson - A murderer's night of reckoning and redemption.

About Robert Louis Stevenson
Throughout his life, Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) was plagued by ill health, which interrupted his formal education at Edinburgh University. Pursuing the life of a bohemian during his twenties and thirties, he traveled around Europe and formed the basis of his first two books, An Inland Journey (1878) and Travels with a Donkey (1879). Stevenson gained his first popular success with Treasure Island (1883). The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, which sold forty thousand copies in six months, and Kidnapped appeared in 1886, followed by The Black Arrow (1888) and The Master of Ballantrae (1889). In 1888, he set out with his family for the South Seas, traveling to the leper colony at Molokai, and finally settling in Samoa, where he died.

She became the first woman to win a Pulitzer when she was awarded the 1921 Prize for her novel The Age of Innocence. A member of the New York elite, Wharton funneled her experiences into vivid portrayals and critiques of high society, while deftly exposing the painful tension between personal desires and societal norms. Wharton died in Paris in 1937 at the age of 75, having written 85 short stories, 16 novels, 11 works of nonfiction, and 3 books of poetry.
