The Christmas book of legends and stories by Elva Sophronia Smith
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
For those interested in creation myths or Christian history, this book is a wonderful collection of interpretations of the story of the birth of Jesus. The interpretations span the time before and after the birth and stories loosely associated. Many are poems, including, what we now think of as, lyrics to well-known Christmas songs.
The book is laid out in sections of significant instances involving the Biblical story of Christ. This sectioning is an excellent addition and very well thought out.
Some of the stories are excellent. Some are weak. All are a great study of view points to the Christmas story. Well worth time to read if you fall into the two categories I wrote of above.
Bottom line: I recommend this book. 7 out of 10 points.
