About this book
A gift hidden in a boot starts Deacon Tubman's New Year's morning with a burst of laughter. Outside, the ground lies under snow; inside, the cheerful deacon struggles with his clothes and discovers a crocheted nightcap from Miranda, his carefully mannered housekeeper. W. H. H. Murray builds the opening through small physical mishaps, lively speech and the contrast between two household temperaments.
The volume contains four stories, including The Old Beggar's Dog, The Ball and Who Was He? Alongside the holiday comedy, a musical scene shows a gathering held spellbound by a young violinist. An old trapper compares the boy's playing with the sounds of hills, woods and water, giving the passage a religious warmth.
