Corelli gathers short stories, poems and fervent prose pieces under one festive cover: a defence of the old greeting “Merry Christmas” against those who sneer at it, a tribute to England, a coronation hymn, a portrait of Queen Alexandra and a carol set at Sandringham. Sentiment, patriotism and religious feeling run through all of it.
A characteristic 1901 gift book from the most popular novelist of late-Victorian Britain, for readers curious about her shorter work. Download the free EPUB.
