Seven Carols, Seven Gifts Christmas Stories for All Ages

Collected for the first time, these prize-winning Christmas tales--carols--of Drew Bacigalupa range in time and place from mid-20th century to the new millennium, from remote mountain villages in New Mexico to the sophisticated neighborhoods of Rome, from children in country fields or on city streets to young soldiers at combat areas, to parents and grandparents at home or abroad. Whether in the United States, Mexico, England, France or Italy, the diverse peoples of these brief but luminous stories share the joy--and sometimes apprehension--we've all known as winter solstice heralds the approach of Christmas. Uniting all is the theme of renewal, the promise of longer days and return of the sun, and our uniquely individual gifts which brighten The Child in each of us.Bacigalupa, Drew is the author of 'Seven Carols, Seven Gifts Christmas Stories for All Ages' with ISBN 9780865343689 and ISBN 0865343683.
