With entires from Charles Wesley, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, John Milton, Charles Dickens, William Shakespeare, William Makepeace Thackeray, Washington Irving, William Wordsworth, Alfred Tennyson, Martin Luther, Hans Christian Andersen and dozens of other authors whose names ring synonymous with everything about our most cherished American holiday that touches our hearts and inspires our spirits (even the famous "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Clause" letter is here!), Robert Haven Schauffler's Christmas: Its Origin, Celebration And Significance As Related In Prose And Verse brings together in a single omnibus volume the most complete collection of beloved classic Yultide poems, stories, carols, hymns and more, from both religious and secular sources, ever compiled between the covers of a single book. A true "must-have" for vintage Christmas and antiquarian book collectors alike.
