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, "e;The Night Before Christmas,"e; 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 "e;The Christmas Tree that Went Walking,"e; "e;Why the Top Sings,"e; "e;The Star Angel,"e; "e;Old Mother Bear's Christmas Stocking,"e; "e;The Story of Baby Gretel,"e; and other vintage stories of Yuletide cheer.
