Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Henry van Dyke (1852-1933) was an American author, educator, and
clergyman. Among his most popular writings are the Christmas
stories "The Other Wise Man" (1896) and "The First Christmas Tree"
(1897).
"If you're giving one book for Christmas, make it this one." -Jim
Trelease, author, The Read-Aloud Handbook They are some of the
warmest childhood memories, those unhurried evenings around the
fireplace, Christmas tree, or dinner table, when there was time for
a story. Now, with this collection, you can keep the story-telling
tradition alive in your family, and pass it on to your children or
grandchildren. Home for Christmas includes twenty time-honored
tales. Several are by world-famous authors; others are little-known
treasures translated from other languages. Selected for their
literary quality and spiritual integrity, they will resonate with
readers of all ages, year after year. With original woodcuts by
David Klein
