{"product_id":"2940013325029","title":"The Fairies and the Christmas Child","description":"Illustrated tales of Fairies in full color and black and white.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExcerpt:\u003cbr\u003eThe worst of being a Christmas Child is that you don’t get birthday presents, but only Christmas ones. Old Naylor, who was Father’s coachman, and had a great gruff voice that came from his boots and was rather frightening, used to ask how I expected to grow up without proper birthdays, and I thought I might have to stay little always. When I told Father this he laughed, but a moment later he grew quite grave.\u003cbr\u003e“Listen, Chris,” he said. And then he took me on his knee—I was a small chap then—and told me things that made me forget old Naylor, and wish and wish that Mother could have stayed with us. The angels had wanted her, Father explained; well, we wanted her too, and there were plenty of angels in heaven, anyway. When I said this Father gave me a great squeeze and put me down, and I tried to be glad that I was a Christmas child. But I wasn’t really until a long time afterwards, when I had found the Fairy Ring, and met the Queen of the Fairies.","brand":"DB Publishing House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47145626370288,"sku":"2940013325029","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013325029_p0.jpg?v=1763579884","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013325029","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
