Tender candlelight and the smell of pine—gilded nuts and apples, candies and gingerbread… A mysterious Christmas star and scorching Epiphany frosts… A time when miracles happen and the most cherished dreams come true—when even adults become a little like children and live in anticipation of magic.
New Year, Christmas, Epiphany… Stories devoted to the most beloved holidays—whether tales about angels’ help or stories about unfortunate orphan girls who end up on the Christmas tree in rich homes—are permeated through and through with a warming light of goodness, warmth, and love.
