Description

"Not since Charles Dickens laid down his pen forever has there been a prettier Christmas story written, one more full of the real spirit of Christmas or conveying a more seasonable lesson than Abbie Farwell Brown's 'The Christmas Angel.' How a disappointed and embittered lady of middle age, occupying herself on Christmas eve with sorting over and throwing away the Christmas toys of her childhood, becomes unwittingly a minister of Christmas pleasure, and how her own Christmas is unexpectedly brightened in consequence, - this is the simple story, but it is exquisitely told." -The Living Age "In a parabolic form, this story deals with skepticism, doubt and even hatred on the part of a worldly-wise woman, and, somewhat after the manner so charmingly used by Dickens in his 'Christmas Carol,' the skepticism, doubt and hatred are swept away and are replaced by resolution, decision and finally charity, which is easily the great of them all." -The Independent "Tells how a little toy Christmas angel brings joy into the lives of a lonely spinster and an unfortunate little girl. The story is an absorbing one, full of tender human pathos, but with a happy ending." -Boston Journal "An appealing holiday story." -Publishers Weekly "The author has invested the delightful story with the real Christmas spirit of joyousness." -Philadelphia Record "'The Christmas Angel' of Abbie Farwell Brown has his little sermon to preach, it is true, but he preaches it so sweetly, and it is such a good and useful little sermon of love and thoughtfulness for others, that the little preacher deserves to be made welcome in many a home." -The Bookman "Should find warm welcome; the story is touching and effective in the same way as 'The Christmas Carol.'" -The Nation "A tender little Christmas idyl with a very real and human interest in it." -Richmond Times-Dispatch "A little story of tenderness and power, beautifully presented....It is in the spirit of the Dickens Christmas stories and with some approach to their machinery, but with its own delightful characteristics." -New-York Observer
