About this edition

A little girl begs her papa for a story, and he tells her about another little girl who got her dearest wish: Christmas every single day, for a whole year. At first it is heaven, all presents and turkey and candy without end. But the presents pile into the streets, the sweets make everyone ill, and the holiday wears very thin indeed.

First published in 1893, Christmas Every Day is William Dean Howells's sly, funny and secretly wise little fable, the story that gave us the phrase itself. This Lightbound Library edition gathers his complete Stories Told for Children, each spun by a patient papa for a child who will not let him stop, and each printed with the original illustrations: Christmas Every Day, Turkeys Turning the Tables, The Pony Engine and the Pacific Express, The Pumpkin-Glory, and Butterflyflutterby and Flutterbybutterfly.
