About this ebook
Henry Van Dyke
Henry Van Dyke (1928–2011) was born in Allegan, Michigan, and grew up in Montgomery, Alabama, where his parents were professors at Alabama State College. He served in the Army in occupied Germany, playing flute in the 427th Marching Band. There he abandoned his early ambition to become a concert pianist and began to write. In 1958, after attending the University of Michigan on the G.I. Bill and living in Ann Arbor, he moved to New York, where he spent the rest of his life. Henry taught creative writing part-time at Kent State University from 1969 until his retirement in 1993, and was the author of four novels, including Blood of Strawberries, a sequel to Ladies of the Rachmaninoff Eyes.

Reviews for The First Christmas Tree
12 ratings1 review
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Very short read, suspect it was originally in some sort of collection or pamphlet. Essentially about introducing pagans to Christianity.The bit at the convent sets up the characters of Gregor and Winfried but has little to do with the rest of the story.I think Gregor kind of takes the place of the reader in the story, asking the questions the reader might ask as Winfried teaches him about Christianity.Lke how Winfried sort of adopts a pagan ritual to bring them over to his side.
