The Children's Book of Christmas Stories

The Children's Book of Christmas Stories is a collection of 35 wonderful stories from around the world. Stories range from Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," and "The Cratchit's Christmas," to "The Fir Tree," by Hans Christian Andersen, to a German Legend for Christmas Eve, entitled "A Story of the Christ-Child." There is something for every child.

Some stories, marked with a asterisk, were judged by the original editors to be especially suited for younger readers, while those with a dagger were deemed particularly suited for older children. The reason for this differentiation is probably because the editors compiled the book for librarians.
