A Merry Christmas
By:Louisa May Alcott
Published on 2014-10-08 by Penguin
One of five beloved Christmas classics A Merry Christmas collects the treasured holiday tales of Louisa May Alcott, from the dearly familiar Yuletide benevolence of Marmee and her “little women” to the timeless “What Love Can Do,” wherein the residents of a boarding house come together to make a lovely Christmas for two poor girls. Wildly popular at the time of their publication—readers deluged Alcott with letters demanding sequels—and drawing on Alcott’s family and experiences in the abolitionist and women’s suffrage movements, these stories have the authentic texture and detail of Christmas in nineteenth-century America, while their emphasis on generosity and charity make them timeless embodiments of the Christmas spirit. Penguin Christmas Classics Give the gift of literature this Christmas. Penguin Christmas Classics honor the power of literature to keep on giving through the ages. The five volumes in the series are not only our most beloved Christmas tales, they also have given us much of what we love about the holiday itself. A Christmas Carol revived in Victorian England such Christmas hallmarks as the Christmas tree, holiday cards, and caroling. The Yuletide yarns of Anthony Trollope popularized throughout the British Empire and around the world the trappings of Christmas in London. The holiday tales of Louisa May Alcott shaped the ideal of an American Christmas. The Night Before Christmas brought forth some of our earliest Christmas traditions as passed down through folk tales. And The Nutcracker inspired the most famous ballet in history, one seen by millions in the twilight of every year.

Colm Tóibín, your award-winning author of Typically the Get good atand Brooklyn, works out their interest in the sophisticated connections between daddies and sons—expressly that stresses regarding the fictional the big boys Oscar Wilde, David Joyce, W.B. Yeats, and their very own fathers. Wilde loathed his particular pops, while recognised that they are greatly alike. Joyce's gregarious father forced his young man from Ireland due to the volatile biliousness not to mention drinking. When Yeats's papa, a good artist, was basically surprisingly a wonderful conversationalist whose cackle seemed to be alot more dressed as opposed to the pictures she or he produced. Such celebrated guys along with the fathers exactly who aided profile all of them can come living found in Tóibín's retelling, as will Dublin's colourful inhabitants.
