You wouldn't think that escaping to a Canadian winter in the 1860's would be a good thing, but I kept wanting to get back to this book -- its characters and its mystery. A book you'll recommend to others.

An excellent collection of Christmas stories. This book is my favorite to give as a small gift at Christmas. Great authors, a few classics and some I'd never read before. We love to read Riders of St. Nicholas every December!

We finished reading this book aloud last night. It is a terrific book - sweet and lovely without a smidgen of saccharine. As for the famous "naughty" word, well, it isn't a book about sex, or with anything inappropriate for someone over, say, 7 years old. However, I realized last night that the word (scrotum) is necessary, not for the plot, but for the artistic structure of the book. Read it and see if you agree with me!

This book made me laugh out loud! And then laugh again, when my sister & I both realized we were thinking about it at a family funeral.(2 of 5 readers found this comment helpful)
