Christian in tone, relaying good morals and virtues, and told in
delightful verse and meter, these old-fashioned Christmas poems
will be enjoyed by the whole family "Old Dingledorf Square" is a
Christmas allegory set in Victorian times that has enormous
relevance to today's modern audience. What happens to this little
town, famed around the world for their handmade Christmas bells,
when a deafening silence overtakes the Christmas joy? Why have the
residents lost their religious faith? Come and see how Terwilliger
Mugs, a beggar seeking a hot meal and respite from the bitterly
cold night, teaches the townsfolk the true meaning of Christmas.
"Cruthers Smuthers and the Green Ghost of Christmas" studies the
materialistic theme with a young tyke who becomes the consummate
brat through his greedy consumption of Christmas-until he meets a
green ghost that scares him to his wit's end "The Light of the
Beggar" focuses on two urban beggars who view their lack of wealth
differently-one with derision, the other, with Christlike optimism.
These allegorical and spiritual poems will captivate the mind
through sonorous and memorable rhyme set to match the music of
Christmas.
