Summary:
"Celebrate all the romance, warmth and comedy of the holidays... with 'audio movies' from the Wild West, Victorian England, and 19th century Russia and New York. It's the most wonderful time of the year-- as you'll hear in these four festive accounts of the Christmas season. 'The gift of the Magi': O. Henry's poignant story of love and giving where a newlywed couple learn the most precious gift of all. 'Christmas Day at Kirkby College': A charming romantic comedy set in Victorian England. Will true love be thwarted by a mischievous comment about the joy of Christmas? 'The shoemaker's gift': Tolstoy's classic about a simple Russian shoemaker who rediscovers a dear friend at Christmastime. 'Christmas by injunction': O. Henry's comedic story about an unexpected act of holiday generosity in the Old West."--Container.
