A Christmas book cover

A Christmas book

by Elizabeth Goudge

This anthology offers nine pieces celebrating the spirit of Christmas with "an amazing visitation of joy, a singing in the soul, a new power of generosity or insight or endurance." The settings of Elizabeth Goudge's stories--two of them new tales, seven selections from her novels--range in locale from her beloved English countryside to the Holy Land, and through time from before the birth of Christ to the present.
