Excerpt from The Tree of Light
Slight is our actual knowledge of Caradoc. We do know that he was simple, brave, human. The Tree of Light is fiction, based on a fairly sound tradition. It is a greatly amplified version of the short story, How Christmas Came into Eng land, published in the Christmas number of Scribner's Magazine for 1909, and copyrighted by Charles Scribner's Sons. I wish to thank the Messrs. Scribner for permission to use in this volume the two drawings they had made by Frank Craig for the original story. For the name of the book I am indebted to Mrs. Julia Crawford Ivers.

Excerpt from The Tree of Light
The first national hero of English-speaking peoples is Caradoc, son of Shakspeare's Cymbeline. He lived five hundred years before King Arthur, and his story is just as romantic. English literature is rich in the treatment of Arthur, while the only literary treatment of Caradoc is a quaint dramatic poem by William Mason. Tradition tells us that Caradoc met Paul while in Rome, and afterward brought us our Christmas. He is also traditionally associated, albeit in conflict, with the British Druids and their practice of human sacrifice. The present writer became interested in his story through reading a pamphlet about him by Edward Hicks, published at Birmingham in 1906, and based on the Roll of John Rous.
