This book is a volume in the Penn Press Anniversary Collection. To
mark its 125th anniversary in 2015, the University of Pennsylvania
Press rereleased more than 1,100 titles from Penn Press's
distinguished backlist from 1899-1999 that had fallen out of print.
Spanning an entire century, the Anniversary Collection offers
peer-reviewed scholarship in a wide range of subject areas.
"Why the Chimes Rang" by is a collection of highly imaginative
modern fairy tales which inspire children to right behavior.
Written by Raymond Macdonald Alden, this classic includes two
Christmas stories--"Why the Chimes Rang" and "In the Great Walled
Country," plus a variety of other stories (such as "The Knights of
the Silver Shield) suitable for different seasons of the year. The
title story, "Why the Chimes Rang," is a truly endearing narration
about two young boys who dream of going to a special Christmas
service at a somewhat distant church. It will take the boys all
afternoon to walk to the church. Along the way they come upon a
woman who has fallen in the snow and is in desperate need of help.
The older brother stays with her and sends "little brother" on to
the church for the Christmas service. Afterwards, he is to return
with help. The Christmas chimes in this church have not been heard
for many years, but they rang that night-all because of two young
boys, who in all of their innocence truly understood about giving
and Christmas. The favorite Christmas story of many, "Why the
Chimes Rang" captures the true meaning of Christmas in a simple yet
rich and beautiful way. If you could have but one book (outside of
the Bible) for Christmas, this should be the one
