The Christmas Treasury is a collection of stories that one could easily curl up with a soft blanket and a cup of tea. The stories are about the true meaning of what Christmas is all about.
A couple of my favorites!
Rosa’s Tale: Rosa is about a horse and on Christmas Eve she is granted the ability to speak to Belinda about her fantastic life.
Mrs. Podgers’ Teapot: A heartwarming story between two middle aged people who have loved one another for a long time and are finally brought together.
The Quiet Little Woman: This story does a great job of making you think about people you might take for granted their feelings.
The stories are a bit whimsical and very quaint. My favorite part is getting to see how people truly celebrated Christmas.
These stories are perfect!

Alcott is among my favorite authors. Her style is so wonderful and beautiful. I love how she saw beauty and goodness all around.
This collection was a mixed bag. My favorite of the collection was Kate's choice.

I loved this book! The stories are well written, and demonstrate strong virtue and moral character. I plan to have my children read this book as part of their homeschool curriculum.

If you love Louisa May Alcott you will love this collection of Christmas stories. They are a little idealistic but every one brought tears to my eyes.

I reread this every Christmas. Heartwarming and inspiring.

Delightful holiday read! Perfect for the snatches if time one sits down to relax during the busiest time of the year.

My favorite book when I was young,and still is one of my favorite books was Little Women. I enjoyed reading these short stories by Louisa May Alcott. Back to a simpler time and a reminder of what Christmas is really about. The birth of our Lord Jesus; giving; and caring for others.

As a young teen fan of Alcott's "Little Women," I was pleased to read her Christmas story collection and learn more about her life.

Possivelmente por ter lido em inglês e/ou por se basear na autora e em que ela escreveu o livro não possui a magia de "Mulherzinhas".
Neste sentido, foi-me difícil ler.
Vale para reler no Natal e tem a vantagem de ser composto por histórias de modo que se pode ler o que decidimos.

An excellent book of stories of times gone by when things were simpler and pure. Loved this book.

I truly loved these short stories so Dickens in nature and with the theme of Christmas. Two of my favorite ingredients.

The first two stories tell of little girls in sad situations, they of course result in a good ending. The third is told from the point of view of a horse. A horse who tells of how her human owners cared and did not care for her. Again the story ends up with a happy ending.

The book also includes a short biography (5 pages) about Alcott. Revealing details I didn't know. There is so much in this little volume. I purchased mine from a small bookseller. It was tucked between some very thick classical volumes and was barely noticeable. What a great find!

Highly recommend! Especially as a Christmas gift for young readers.
