Description
Snow tapped against the window, the logs settled in the grate, and on the low table by the hearth sat the family’s favorite volume, Christmas Stories, its corners soft with years of handling. That year someone had placed a wrapped present on top of it. Nobody admitted to doing so. The children circled it all evening, guessing, until their mother finally said they could open it.
Inside was a brand-new collection of tales nobody had ever heard, and they read the first one together before the fire burned low. This box joins those two pleasures, a beloved storybook and a gift waiting on top. It is a natural present for a book club friend, a grandparent who reads aloud, or anyone who believes that the best Christmas evenings end with a story. Set it on a bedside table beside a stack of novels.
