Author Rediscovers Forgotten Stories

Michele Slung is well-known for the story collections she has edited through the years and all are excellent, but this one is my favorite. She spent hours at the Library of Congress rediscovering out-of-print short stories with Christmas themes, and many of them haven't been read by anyone for half a century or more. Reading each of them is like opening a Christmas package, for each one is well-written and delightful and brings to the reader the joy of discovery and surprise. I couldn't reccommend this book more and I urge everyone who likes to sit by a fireside with the winter snow--real or imagined--falling softly outside the window, to order a copy (or copies) of A Treasury of Old-Fashioned Christmas Stories for the next holiday season.
