About this book
Christmas morning arrives with firecrackers, children's gifts, visiting tradespeople and a grandfather's pockets full of sweets in Henry S. Armstrong's collection of short stories. The opening sketch follows the sounds and small rituals of a comfortable household, ending in gratitude and concern for people whose holiday may be harder. In the next piece, John Redfield counts his remaining money and argues with himself about the beggars whose troubles keep stirring his sympathy.
The collection also moves beyond the family hearth. A later passage places Arthur Granger amid warnings, concealed loyalties and the demands of a secret order connected with Italy. Domestic comedy and political suspense therefore share space within the holiday frame.
