Christmas Angel (Illustrated) - Abbie Farwell Brown - Bog

Abbie Farwell Brown (1871-1927) was an American author. Brown would write collections retelling old tales for a contemporary child audience. Excerpt: "What do you want?" Norah flushed; but she was hardened to her mistress's manner. "Only to ask if I may go out for a little while to see the decorations and hear the singing." "Decorations? Singing? Fiddlestick!" retorted Miss Terry, poker in hand. "What decorations? What singing?" "Why, all the windows along the street are full of candles," answered Norah; "rows of candles in every house, to light the Christ Child on his way when he comes through the city to-night."
