The Bird's Christmas Carol Author:Wiggin The Birds' Christmas Carol was written in 1886, but its message about the true meaning of Christmas is as true today as ever. This is the beloved story of a little girl, born on Christmas day, who brings light and love to all those around her, even as her own young life is slowly fading. She enjoys nothing more than giving to those who will app... more »reciate it the most. Little Carol teaches her family and neighbors (and readers over the past 100 years) the importance behind her birth date. And when she is done, she does not leave a dry eye or an empty heart. Charmingly illustrated with turn of the century children's book illustrations and vintage art, this gift edition is long overdue.

In days such as these, The Birds' Christmas Carol is ripe for a revival, and this is an edition worthy of remaining in the family library for generations.« less
