The Burglar's Christmas was originally published near the beginning
of Willa Cather's writing career in 1896 under the pseudonym of
Elizabeth L. Seymour. The story follows William Crawford on the
cold streets of Chicago as he contemplates the multiple failures
plaguing his life, including his time at college and careers in
journalism, real estate, and performing. Distraught, he tries one
more role: thief. Attempting to burgle a residence and caught in
the act by the lady of the house, William must come to terms with
the choices that led him to that moment. Cather provides a
heartwarming short story of redemption and love at Christmas, a
timely reminder that kindness is in everyone, just waiting to be
uncovered.
