ELEANOR ROOSEVELT'S BOOK OF CHRISTMAS

by Eleanor- Ed. Roosevelt ‧ RELEASE DATE: N/A

After a preamble telling of Christmas at Hyde Park and the White House, and a story of her own revealing her world-wide sympathies and interests, Eleanor Roosevelt turns to a collection of the tried-and-true Christmas stories and essays of sentiment, simple faith and good cheer. Among the contributors: Hans Christian Andersen, Charles Dickens, Anatole France, O. Henry, Fannie Hurst, Washington Irving, Selma Lagerlof, Stephen Leacock, Gian Carlo Menotti, Christopher Morley, Jacob A. Riis, Cornelia Otis Skinner, Robert Louis Stevenson, Dylan Thomas, Hugh Walpole, Laura Ingalls Wilder. A section of poems by Farjeon, Frost, Longfellow, Masefield, Milne, Nash, Tennyson, and a finale of favorite carols round out a generous book with tastes dating for the most part a generation back, with a few more contemporary touches.
