Christmas Every Day. Dieser Artikel ist nicht verfügbar.Christmas Every Day

A little girl begs her papa for a story, and he tells her about another little girl who got her dearest wish - Christmas every single day, for a whole year. At first it is heaven: presents, turkey, and candy without end. But when every day is Christmas, the presents pile into the streets, the sweets make everyone ill, and the whole world grows very tired of the holidays indeed. First published in 1893, Christmas Every Day is William Dean Howells's sly, funny, and secretly wise little fable - the story that gave us the phrase itself. This Lantern Library edition gathers his complete Stories Told for Children, each spun by a patient papa for a child who will not let him stop, and each printed with the original illustrations: *Christmas Every Day, Turkeys Turning the Tables, The Pony Engine and the Pacific Express, The Pumpkin-Glory, and Butterflyflutterby and Flutterbybutterfly*.
