Classic Christmas Stories

By Frank Galgay

Bestselling author Frank Galgay offers up this collection of his personal favourites from a wide variety of Canadian writers. Spanning 160 years, Classic Christmas Stories includes heartwarming tales of Christmases from pastoral Canadian towns, to hustling and bustling cities where the Christmas spirit can often be woefully hard to find.

The stories and anecdotes illustrate how the season has changed in meaning and value with the march of time and contain allegories of the joys of gift-giving and receiving for readers of all ages.
