The Children's Book of Christmas Stories

by Richard S. Hartmetz, Asa Don Dickinson (Contribution by), Ada M. Skinner (Contribution by)

Overview

Many librarians have felt the need and expressed the desire for a select collection of children's Christmas stories in one volume. This book claims to be just that and nothing more.
Each of the stories has already won the approval of thousands of children, and each is fraught with the true Christmas spirit.
It is hoped that the collection will prove equally acceptable to parents, teachers, and librarians.

About the Author

Asa Don Dickinson, (1876-1960), Brooklyn College's first Chief Librarian, was born in Detroit, Michigan, and educated at the Brooklyn Latin School. In 1894, he became a student at Columbia Law School, but left after two years due to poor health. Thereafter he had thoughts of becoming a librarian, particularly after he heard that Andrew Carnegie, the philanthropist who established over 2,500 public libraries, was about to fund some additional ones in New York City.
