Have you read it to your children? Kate Douglas Wiggins wrote this beau tiful story. For reading of the season we have THE FIRESIDE BOOK OF CHRISTMAS STORIES, edited by Edward Wagenknecht; THE OTH ER WISE MAN, Henry Van Dyke; CHRISTMAS IN DICKENS, Charles Dickens; Clement C. Moore’s poem, A VISIT FROM ST. NICK; THE LITTLE MATCH GIRL, Hans Christian Andersen; THE CHRISTMAS WHALE, Rog er Duvoisin; THE DRUM GOES DEAD, Bessie Streeter Aldrich; THE FIRST CHRISTMAS, Flor ida R. Glover, and WHILE THE ANGELS SING, Gladys H. Carroll. For sheer excitement and rich romance we believe you’ll like SILVER NUTMEG by Norah Lofts. Banda, an island in the Dutch East Indies, in 1656, is the scene. It was a time of great for tunes, made by Dutch merchants, and the Dutch and English were struggling for control of the is lands. In a nutshell, it is the story of a wealthy Dutch merchant, his wife who was brought to him from Holland, and the part they played in a native uprising. With novels that provide drama and lively interest you can depend on Helen Topping Miller. Now, following DARK SAILS and SHOD WITH FLAME, she writes an his toric novel of North Carolina and East Tennessee in Revolutionary War days. Young, and lovely Lisle Marot thought war would never touch her, but it was very real to her when Giles Hanna, penniless soldier, who fought with Wash ington at Valley Forge, led the Marots over treacherous mount- ains to safety. Prominent are the gay and gallant Perrin twins who both fall in love with Lisle. Men and women, salty in speech and rude in gaiety, are doggedley de* termined to build their homes and fight for them.
