1. The Christmas Peace is a novella about a multi-century feud between two families. The Hampden and Drayton families had been feuding since early Colonial days. Like so many inter-family feuds, the original reason -- who had the most prestigious title, "Captain" Hampden or "Colonel" Drayton -- may seem silly on the surface of it to outsiders, like us. But, just as with the famous Hatfield and McCoy feud, there is nothing silly about it if you live in the middle of it. And so it was with Hampden-Drayton feud. Perhaps is was not as bloody as the Hatfields and McCoys, but it was no less contentious. In a surprise ending, as so often as happens in real life, it takes a child to bring the two families together at last, fittingly, on Christmas Eve. Fittingly, because what better present can Christmas bring than peace? ¿2. In A Captured Santa Claus by Thomas Nelson Page, enter a world of holiday enchantment and embark on a magical adventure alongside a group of spirited children.

But little do they know that their mischievous plan will lead to an unexpected encounter with the jolly old man.

In this delightful twist, Santa imparts invaluable lessons about the true spirit of Christmas, teaching them about generosity, kindness, and the joy of giving. Through Thomas Nelson Page's vivid storytelling, "A Captured Santa Claus" captures the wonder and joy of the holiday season. Readers will be transported to a world where the magic of Christmas comes alive, reminding us of the importance of love, compassion, and spreading cheer to others. Join the children on this whimsical journey as they learn the true meaning of Christmas and experience the transformative power of Santa's wisdom."

They went to sleep the night before Christmas-or rather they went to bed, for sleep was long far from their bright eyes-with delightful expectations and thrills along their backs, and with little squeakings and gurglings, like so many little white mice, and if Santa Claus had not always been so very prompt in disappearing up the chimney before daybreak he must certainly have been caught. For by the time the chickens were crowing in the morning there would be an answering twitter through the house, and with a patter of little feet and subdued laughter small, white-clad figures would steal through the dim light of dusky rooms and cold passages, opening doors with sudden bursts, and shouting "Christmas gift!" into darkened chambers, at still sleeping elders. Then they would scurry away in the gray light to rake open the hickory embers and revel in the exploration of their bulging, overcrowded stockings. Not Columbus was to be envied when those discoveries were being made. What was a new world to those treasures! The thrill of the new jack-knife remains after forty years-it had four blades, each worth a province. Envy Columbus? Perish the thought!

Although originally written for a young audience, the Civil War stories of Thomas Nelson Page (1853-1922) have broad, far-reaching appeal. His themes of moral and physical courage, honesty, truth, sympathy, loyalty and patriotism not only introduced youthful readers to these virtues - something sadly lacking in today's literature for the young - but also inspired adults to live by attractive example. This rare book of stories deals with the adventures of Southern children in occupied Virginia, and are culled from a number of Page's other hard-to-find volumes. They represent the best of the best. Since Page was himself a child in Virginia during the war, he brings to his stories a certain realism and feel for his topic that other writers - working from a distance of more than a century - couldn't possibly achieve. Although Page wrote idyllically of the war and the South, the quality of his writing, the exciting stories he created and the high-minded lessons (such as courage and duty) he sought to teach to young people made him one of the South's - and America's - most important writers.

NOTE. THE dialect of the negroes of Eastern Virginia differs totally from that of the Southern negroes, and in some material points from that of those located farther west. The elision is so constant that it is impossible to produce the exact sound, and in some cases it has been found necessary to subordinate the phonetic arrangement to intelligibility. The following rules may, however, aid the reader: The final consonant is rarely sounded. Adverbs, prepositions, and short words are frequently slighted, as is the possessive. The letter r is not usually rolled except when used as a substitute for th, but is pronounced ah. For instance, the following is a fair representation of the peculiarities cited: The sentence, "It was curious, he said, he wanted to go into the other army," would sound: " 'Twuz cu-yus, he say, he wan'(t) (to) go in(to) 'turr ah-my."

This is a delightful fictional account of two ten-year-old boys' adventures and escapades while living at home in rural Virginia during the War Between the States. They are innocent of modern day attitudes, and the story is sympathetic to both sides of the conflict in the sense that war is difficult for both sides involved. The relationships are heart-warming and real and the boys demonstrate budding character traits of honorable young men.
