Description
Memories of Christmas is a collection of nostalgic stories that recalls Christmas celebrations of a different era, transporting readers to the bygone days of rural Prince Edward Island. These are stories of actual Islander’s Christmases; from wartime to Christmas on the farm; retold through this experienced writer’s hand. Here we learn of a time when gifts and decorations were homemade and being with family was the greatest gift of all. Marlene Campbell’s charming tales will be sure to warm the hearts of even the biggest curmudgeon this holiday season.
