Christmas Miscellany 2023

Christmas has inspired some of literature's most treasured voices, and this collection gathers eleven of them. Here you'll find stories that capture the particular hush of a winter night, the complicated joy of family gathered together, and those small moments that somehow feel more meaningful when snow falls outside the window. These are tales of expectation and revelation, of strangers becoming friends and old wounds beginning to heal. Whether written in the nineteenth century or the twenty-first, each piece carries that unmistakable Christmas feeling: the sense that something secret and sacred is being born, if only we pay attention. Pull this book close on a cold evening and let these writers remind you why this holiday has endured in our imaginations for centuries.
