The wonderful fiction stories and poems in this collection were all written in the 19th and early twentieth century and give us a glimpse into the world as it once was.
Real horse and carriages raced through the snow with their bells jingling and Yule logs were lit in hard working fireplaces. Christmas trees were festooned with popcorn and candles and Santa Claus had not yet become the red suited jolly fat old man we are so familiar with.
You'll find stories for children and grown-ups written in a style that may seem old-fashioned. Of course, it is old-fashioned, for most of the stories are over a hundred years old!
Note: Tales of Christmas Past is in PDF format. It has been zipped for faster downloads so you will need WinZip to open it and Adobe PDF reader to open and print the coloring pages.
