Christmas Stories And Legends

Christmas Stories And Legends

di Phebe A. Curtiss (Autore)

Christmas Stories and Legends is a collection of tales to restore "the real
spirit of Christmas" to the jaded world of . . . 1916. Even then, editor
Phebe A. Curtiss worried children, especially, might get lost in the day's
creeping commercialism. She aimed the book at schools and Sunday schools,
and assembled twenty bits of Christmas lore to teach a proper observance.
She includes, of course, the Nativity story, but other parts of yesterday's
Christmas will be much less familiar to modern readers. The song, "White
Christmas," hadn't been written yet, and the expression meant something
more than snow. People gave white gifts to symbolize purity. Children might
have had visions of sugarplums, but the book includes the unsweetened
versions of two weepers from Hans Christian Anderson: "The Little Match
Girl" and "The Fir Tree." (The tree learns too late to appreciate Christmas
-- on the bonfire afterward.) And little Tom has to learn he is lucky to
receive new skates for Christmas, even if they're the wrong brand. The book
brings back great-grandfather's Christmas as a gift for today's worriers.
Christmas always came with problems. But it always came, anyway.
