Book Description
What would a child do if they found their childhood toys lying in the street? Act selfishly? Miss Terry had tossed each toy one by one to the snowy sidewalk in front of her house. But her heart is moved when she sees the Christmas Angel kicked aside. Remembering all the years it graced her family mantel, she rushes to rescue it. Back inside, the Christmas Angel comes to life, and reveals the actual destiny for each toy, and for Miss Terry, something she could have never imagined. "The Christmas Angel," part of the Focus on the Family Great Stories collection, includes an in-depth introduction and discussion questions by Joe Wheeler. It is a stirring reminder of what really matters at Christmas and throughout the year. ============== TAGS/KEYWORDS: Christmas Angel, Miss, Terry, Christmas, Angel, little, Mary, eyes, doll, Angelina, street, Tom, Miranda, Norah, child, girl, believe, fire, window, children, Eve, drew, draw, poor, spirit, ark, make, mother, candles, Flanton, package, happy, snow, Terry, to-night, toys, pretty, Beautiful, singing, Dog, heartfelt, hung, Ornaments, Sam, Fiddlestick, Joe, block, Cooper, Johnnie, library, rose, tears, told, silk, wicked, angel, Aunt, Bob, bonnet, Sammy, ashamed, baby, Santa Claus, Play Box, Jack-in-the-Box, Flanton Dog, Noah's Ark, Jack, Christmas Candle, Abbie Farwell Brown,

Book Description
Christmas Tales of Flanders is a profusely illustrated volume containing 23 illustrated Fables and legends from Flanders and Brabant. Even today these tales are still loved by children of all ages throughout Belgium. Many of the tales are found in different guises in the folklore of many nations, but here they are presented with a Flemish twist, taking the place of the more commonly told nursery stories familiar in the UK and in other Western nations. The first relates the tale of a rich woman who turns a beggar away from her door at Christmas, who is then welcomed by her poor neighbour, who provides food and shelter freely given. She is of course rewarded for her actions, whilst the rich neighbour pays a price for her meanness of spirit, a tale retold with variations in most cultures. Then the tale of Seppy presents a man who complains that he works hard in the fields while his wife idles her time away at home, so they decide to swap jobs for a day. After his catastrophic day looking after the house and the ensuing chaos, Seppy learns not to complain about others and realises he is not the only one who works hard. There are tales to make you take care for what you wish for (Tintelentyn and The Wonderful Fish) and others showing how bad acts can rebound and repay with interest. All the tales use humour to demonstrate life's lessons to the young, and young at heart. The tales themselves are delightfully enhanced by the illustrations by Jean de Bosschere, a Belgian artist and writer (1878-1953) associated with the Golden Age of Illustration. This volume contains 12 lovely colour illustrations and more than 120 monotone and two colour images (ranging in size from full-page to vignettes). De Bosschere’s work is considered to be in same league as Harry Clarke or Willy Pogany. Whomever his work is compared to, the work of Jean de Bosschere - like that of other great illustrators - is unique, so much so that many of his illustrated books were published as limited editions. 10% of the profit from the sale of this book will be donated to charity.

Book Description
Santa Claus’ Sweetheart is a short children’s book by Imogen Clark written and published in 1906. At Terry O’ Connor’s birth it was believed he was blessed by the fairies. But so too had the wicked fairy visited the new-born’s cradle where she wreaked her evil will so that the little child grew to be a man with a happy-go-lucky demeanour but who was known through the countryside as a good-for-naught. On his way home from the tavern one Christmas eve, Terry shivered momentarily under his furs, even though he was so well wrapped up that the cold should have been powerless to reach him. “Hi, there, me byes!” he shouted at his team as he drove his sleigh towards home and warmth and breaking into song. Suddenly he broke off in his song, and his fingers closed tightly over the slack reins; the horses felt the authoritative touch and came to an instant standstill. There in the road in front of him stood a child who levelled her gaze at him. He stared into a child’s eager face. Then she spoke and said, “Are you Santa Claus?” she demanded with bated breath. Before he had time to answer Terry’s life had been changed without him knowing it. But just how had the life of this wastrel been changed this cold Christmas eve? Well you’ll have to download and read this book to find out how! The ideal book for a young reader about to embark on their reading adventure. 10% of the profit from the sale of this book will be donated to charities. =============== Keywords/Tags: Santa Claus Sweetheart, Christmas, children’s book, Imogen Clark, magic, wonder, children’s story, Christmas story, sleigh, horses, cold, Santa Claus, Enter, Ride Together, Exit, Christmas Eve, Thornby’s, Peace of God, Christmas Day, sleigh bells, forest, Narcisse, Vélin, Wistar’s tavern, shantymen, shacks, Baptiste, famous, story-teller, Danny, Whitefoot, glee, happiness, joy, Pierre, doctor, Mr. Higgins,
