Seize Your Copy Christmas In Legend And Story: A Book For Boys And Girls (Classic Reprint) Composed By Elva Sophronia Smith Issued In Copy
laststories were definitely my favorites, Mostly, these stories were fairly dull, Despite the similar name and same author, this is not the same book as "The Chistmas Book of Legends and Stories, " It contains some of the same material, but is primarily taken up with later stories, many of which are commonly reprinted, While there's some nice stuff in here seeing Tolstoy's Christmas tale included was a nice bonus this is neither as eccentric nor as essential a book as the other one of similar name.
