Antonella and her Santa Claus
by Barbara Augustin (Author), Gerhard Lahr (Illustrator)
Antonella lives in Italy, in a little village nestled at the foot of mountains next to the sea, and the only thing she really wants for Christmas is a pair of red roller skates. She isn't quite sure, though, how to let Santa know. In the end, she ties her letter to Santa to a balloon, and hopes it will deliver her wish.
The balloon lands in a schoolyard in Hungary and the children there read Antonella's letter, and work to fulfill her dream. Santa himself may not have delivered the skates to Antonella, but he was definitely in the schoolyard in Hungary, in the little village in Italy...in all of us. |

Gift of the Magi
by O. Henry (Author), P.J. Lynch (Illustrator)
O. Henry's classic tale of the wisest gifts of Christmas, brought to life by P.J. Lynch's extraordinary art, is itself a gift to share and treasure.
In a shabby New York flat, Della sobs as she counts the few coins she has saved to buy a Christmas present for her husband, Jim. A gift worthy of her devotion will require a great sacrifice: selling her long, beautiful hair. Jim, meanwhile, has made a sacrifice for Della that is no less difficult. As they exchange gifts on Christmas Eve, the discovery of what each has done fills them with despair, until they realize that the true gifts of Christmas can be found more readily in their humble apartment than in any fine store. O. Henry paints a masterly portrait of unfaltering love, a haven from the harsh world outside. The poignancy of his story is captured in P.J. Lynch's eloquent art, wherein every glance, every gesture, tells a subtle truth. |
