OUR SIMPLE GIFTS: CIVIL WAR CHRISTMAS TALES -- Owen Parry

William Morrow -- hc
New York -- ©2002 -- 149pp
ISBN: 0-06-001378-8

A short collection of Christmas stories set during the Civil War.

"Star of Wonder"
"Tannenbaum"
"Nothing But A Kindness"
"Christmas Gift"
A Christmas Request to the Reader

I am always on the look-out for short Christmas-related stories, and I liked the idea of these being set in the Civil War time, but only the first story struck a chord with me, and even at that, it was quite predictable.

Not a collection to recommend.
