Last Gift

Mary E. Wilkins Freeman (1852-1930) was one of the most popular American writers at the turn of the twentieth century and her annual Christmas stories appeared in magazines and periodicals across the globe. Since then the extraordinary stories that once delighted her legions of fans every festive season have gone largely out of print and unread. Now for the first time <i>The Last Gift</i> presents a collection of Freeman's best Christmas writing introducing these funny poignant provocative and surprisingly timely holiday tales to a new generation of readers.
