This anthology from the author of THE BIRD IN THE TREE, PILGRIM'S INN and THE HEART OF THE FAMILY 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.
