Christmas may come but once a year but human emotions, the driving force of our characters are with us every day.
Yet, somehow these same emotions when they happen at Christmas, seem amplified, we seem more tender to their touch, their words.
In this volume we take the verse and poems of our classic poets and put them alongside our short story masters to reveal a Christmas that everyone remembers and that everyone wants to be part of.-
