Celebrate the season with this collection of popular holiday stories from Christmases past. This set includes E. T. A. Hoffmann's The Nutcracker, the story of a girl's Christmas gift coming to life and battling the sinister mouse king, which later inspired Tchaikovsky's popular holiday ballet. Next is A Christmas Carol, Charles Dickens's renowned novella about the miserly Ebeneezer Scrooge being confronted with his greed and learning the meaning of Christmas.
Rounding out the set is The Twelve Classics of Christmas, a collection of twelve holiday short stories. From favorites like Clement C. Moore's "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" and O. Henry's "The Gift of the Magi" to lesser-known tales from beloved authors like Louisa May Alcott, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and the Brothers Grimm, this anthology is the perfect way to count down to Christmas.
