Francis Hopkinson Smith created one of American fiction’s most warmly comic characters in Colonel Carter of Cartersville — a charming, hopelessly impractical, and utterly lovable Virginia gentleman entirely unsuited by temperament and experience to modern commercial life. Colonel Carter’s Christmas catches the Colonel at the most festive and forgiving time of year, with his characteristic good humour and seasonal generosity on full display.
Sentimental in the very best sense — genuinely affectionate without a trace of sentimentality’s usual dishonesty. Download this free EPUB and spend the Christmas season in the Colonel’s delightfully unreliable company.
