From Booklist
Gr. 4^-6, younger for reading aloud. This compilation of 12 stories does not round up the usual suspects. In fact, several of the stories are only tangentially about Christmas, focusing more on, as editor Philip says, "an afterglow of hope for the future . . . the essential Christmas message." Although it's pleasant to have some less familiar tales, this gambit is not entirely successful. Andersen's "The Last Dream of the Old Oak Tree," translated for this collection, is hardly cheery, and "The Best That Life Has to Offer" is a very adult tale that doesn't mention Christmas at all. There are also more traditional selections, such as Andersen's "The Fir Tree" and an abbreviated retelling of "The Nutcracker." The book is lovely to look at with Isabelle Brent's handsome watercolors and gilt-edged designs glowing on the page; they may have more child appeal than the stories. For larger collections.
