50+ Anthology of Christmas Stories and Poems. Classic Collection : A Merry Christmas by Louisa May Alcott, A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, A Letter from Santa Claus by Mark Twain, The Three Kings by Leo Tolstoy, The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame, The Gift of the Magi by O. Henry and others

Enchanting, tragic, and hilarious fairy tales for adults and children grace these pages. An initial glance might lead you to assume that these are satirical versions of classic Christmas ghost stories. However, beneath the humorous stories involving ghosts, repentant sinners, miracles, and good peasants who find well-deserved happiness, lies a psychological undercurrent that sharpens the sense of intrigue and plot movement. Often this is aided by the unrelenting social exposure of the authors who always understood how intangible the "bourgeois paradise" truly was. Even today, idyllic dreams of tolerance, equality, and the triumph of justice have failed to materialize. Perhaps that is why people continue to read these classic stories while the snow falls outside and the lights glow on the Christmas tree.
