A Christmas Child – Mary Louisa Molesworth

Mrs. Molesworth is one of the few writers of tales for children whose sentiment though of the sweetest kind is never sickly; whose religious feeling is never concealed yet never obtruded; whose books are always good but never ‘goody.’ Little Ted with his soft heart, clever head, and brave spirit is no morbid presentment of the angelic child ‘too good to live’, and who is certainly a nuisance on earth, but a charming creature, if not a portrait, whom it is a privilege to meet even in fiction.

A Christmas Posy – Mary Louisa Molesworth

The familiar appearance of Mrs. Molesworth’s gift of delight awakens grateful anticipations which are rarely, if ever, disappointed. The literary work in A Christmas Posy is intrinsically characteristic, and the same must be acknowledged with respect to Mr. Crane’s illustrations. Still the stories, a group of six, are variable in conception. Thus their young readers will be pleased to read them, though the modern parental tendency leans towards a quicker brightness than appeals in the opening story.

Christmas In The Adirondacks – William H. H. Murray

The stories in this book vie with each other in interest. Each is a finished piece of literature, rich in humor and pathos; and without any offensive sermonizing they teach the loftiest lessons of kindness, thoughtfulness, and that all-comprehending sympathy which made the life of Jesus so sublime.

It is full of bits of little-known Christmas lore and its aim is to build a rough outline map of the field of Christmas customs, and to bring together materials hitherto scattered through a multitude of volumes in various languages.
