The Gifts of the Child Christ: Annotated and Illustrated

In Victorian London, the Greatorex family has wealth but not love. When young Phosy misunderstands a Christmas sermon, her innocent faith sets in motion a chain of events that awakens every heart in the household — a story about the redemptive power of unconditional love. Part parable, part Victorian moral tale.
