THE LIGHT OF CHRISTMAS

by Frances- Ed. Brentano ‧ RELEASE DATE: Oct. 29, 1964

Despite the inspiration of Christ's birth, the writings about it appear seldom to share more than a modicum of illumination. Here is a collection of worthies, in which John Milton stands by jowl with Faith Baldwin, Frank Slaughter by Helen Waddell. An initial section looks to the great event for its subject; later sections turn to Christmas tales and traditions, celebrations as enjoyed and remembered from childhood, illustrations of the Christmas spirit. Among the many well known authors represented are Dorothy Canfield Fisher, B.J. Chute, Emily Kimbrough, Mark Twain, Lloyd C. Douglas, Susan Claspell, Rachel Field, Moss Hart, Mary Ellen Chase, Dorothy Thompson, Lillian Smith, Pearl Buck, Sterling North, Saki
