Reseña del editor
A treasury of Christmas favorites ranges from the gospel story of Christ to traditional carols and hymns to the Christmas writings of O. Henry and Charles Dickens
Nota de la solapa
This little treasury of Christmas favorites from the Modern Library is our selection of stories, songs, carols, poems, and more to gladden the heart for the festive season. It is ideal to be dipped into for reading aloud--perhaps around a Christmas tree or in front of a fire in happy re-creation of a holiday scene that Charles Dickens might have described.
Beginning with the Bible stories of Christ's Nativity, Christmas Classics leads us on a joyous journey. The beloved stories "The Gift of the Magi" by O. Henry and "The Fir Tree" by Hans Christian Andersen, along with a Christmas mystery with Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, accompany extracts from Dickens's A Christmas Carol and The Pickwick Papers as well as the opening sections of Louisa May Alcott's Little Women. The beautiful devotional verses of John Donne and John Milton are included, together with seasonal offerings from poets like Tennyson, Longfellow, Walt Whitman, Sir Walter Scott, Clement Clarke Moore, and Robert Louis Stevenson. And the songs and carols that mean Christmas to so many of us are here: "Oh Come, All Ye Faithful," "The Twelve Days of Christmas," and "Jingle Bells." Selections from the holiday chronicles of Samuel Pepys, the seventeenth-century English diarist, and recipes from Mrs. Beeton's Victorian kitchen--staples like plum pudding and mince pies--complete this bo
ok of yuletide cheer.
Christmas Classics from the Modern Library is
a delightful book to give and to receive and
will become a family favorite for countless Christmases yet to come.
The Modern Library has played a significant role in American cultural life for the better part of a century. The series was founded in 1917 by the publishers Boni and Liveright and eight years later acquired by Bennett Cerf and Donald Klopfer. It provided the foun-dation for their next publishing venture, Random House. The Modern Library has been a staple of the American book trade, providing readers with affordable hard-bound editions of important works of liter-ature and thought. For the Modern Library's seventy-fifth anniversary, Random House redesigned the series, restoring as its emblem the running torchbearer created by Lucian Bernhard in 1925 and refurbishing jackets, bindings, and type, as well as inau-gurating a new program of selecting titles. The Modern Library continues to provide the world's best books, at the best prices.
