Seven Carols, Seven Gifts

Christmas Stories for All Ages

Collected for the first time, these-prize winning Christmas tales -- carols -- range in time and place from mid-20th century to the new millennium, from remote mountain villages in New Mexico to the sophisticated neighborhoods of Rome, from children in country fields or on city streets to young soldiers at combat areas, to parents and grandparents at home or abroad.
Whether in the United States, Mexico, England, France or Italy, the diverse peoples of these brief but luminous stories share the joy -- and sometimes apprehension -- we've all known as winter solstice heralds the approach of Christmas. Uniting all is the theme of renewal, the promise of longer days and return of the sun, and our uniquely individual gifts which brighten The Child in each of us.

"...beautiful tales that touch the human and divine in all of us. My favorite is 'The Nature of Gifts' set in WWII-era Europe -- a four-page gem that defines the word Gift. It would be a mistake to assume that these stories should be read only in December for their message transcends the season."
Betty Parker, Southwest Book Views
"...my favorite (story), 'Broken Boundaries' ... Bacigalupa's gift to all of us -- a chance to see something in Christmas besides blaring carols, flashing lights and price tags."
Terry England, The Santa Fe New Mexican
