Here is my review for the Christmas Celebration....
Kate's Choice
written by Louisa May Alcott
125 pages
If you're looking for a delightful and quick Christmas read, this book would be perfect. It is actually a compilation of 3 short stories by Louisa May Alcott. The first story of the book is called Kate's Choice, and it was my favorite story of the book. It is about a young girl from England who has come to stay with relatives in America. She has all her aunts & uncles on their toes as they wait to hear about a certain life-changing decision that she must make. Not only does she make a surprising choice, but she also plans a very merry Christmas secret.
What Love Can Do is the second short story in the book. It features 2 sisters who share their quaint Christmas wishes with each other. Each of them wish they had a bit more money to spend on gifts for their family.
What awaits them on their doorstep on Christmas morning?
The last story is entitled Gwen's Adventure in the Snow. It shows the great courage of little boys & girls who get caught in a snowstorm during a fun sleigh ride. They cannot return home. How will they survive the frigid night?
Each of these stories have their own unique personality. The characters within the pages of this book show excellent qualities and virtues, just like all of Louisa May Alcott's writings. I have a very high recommendation for this book, and hope you'll enjoy reading it this Christmas season.
Remember to take a look at the The Ladies Library Christmas Celebration page for more details!!
Hi Tarissa!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of that before, that sounds like a good book to read at Christmas-time! I just finished a book called "A Quiet Little Woman" which is another one of Louisa May Alcott's Christmas new-found collections- and I thought it was the only one until now! I hope I'll get the chance to read this one, too. Great review!
