DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Christmas Classics" is proud to present you a carefully selected range of fiction and prose for the most beautiful time of the year. Besides best-known classics we also offer a huge variety of out-of-print books and titles long forgotten. You can spot them easily by the red book cover and the golden bells in the middle. A plantation below the city is the setting for a climax in "Whistling Dick's Christmas Stocking."
