The Birds' Christmas Carol and The Old Peabody Pew

The Birds' Christmas Carol

Carol Bird, a Christmas-born child, who as a young girl is unusually loving and generous, having a positive effect on everyone with whom she comes into contact.

The book is a wistful moral tale about a saintly child, but is enlivened by many humorous.



The Old Peabody Pew

Another heartwarming tale from the American educator and writer, famous for her children's works including Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm. The story Edgewood, like all the other villages along the banks of the Saco, is full of sunny slopes and leafy hollows.

There are little, rounded, green-clad hillocks that might, like their scriptural sisters, skip with joy; and there are grand, rocky hills tufted with gaunt pine trees-these leading the eye to the splendid heights of a neighbor State, where snow-crowned peaks tower in the blue distance, sweeping the horizon in a long line of majesty.
