"The Birds' Christmas Carol" by Kate Douglas Wiggin
The Birds' Christmas Carol may be downloaded for free from our ebook catalog
Since I reviewed The Romance of a Christmas Card by Kate Douglas Wiggin, I was curious to read The Birds' Christmas Carol, by the same author. Except in the respect that both books are about Christmas, not many similarities exist between the two Wiggin Christmas stories. An endearing quality about Wiggins' writing is the wonderful detail with which she describes even the most minor of events. She is also very clever at describing the social milieu of the day, so clever that one would come to believe that she might be commenting on social realities such as class divisions. If she is commenting, however, she tastefully refrains from commentary, allowing us to make our own decisions regarding their meaning. This is another illustrated text that can be viewed here.
