       Table of Contents

      Many librarians have felt the need and expressed the desire for a select collection of children's Christmas stories in one volume. This books claims to be just that and nothing more.

      Each of the stories has already won the approval of thousands of children, and each is fraught with the true Christmas spirit.

      It is hoped that the collection will prove equally acceptable to parents, teachers, and librarians.
