A nice collection of classic favorites and not so famous Christmas stories. I enjoyed reading them all. I wish there was some illustrations to make the book more welcome and inviting for younger children and I found the story order a bit odd. For exampls, starting of with Dickens can be great but it is a longer story and may have some stop reading before they find the other shorter stories. I also found many were a little depressing in tond , not the usual jovial tales we typically enjoy during the season but ones that offer the reader conteplation as an ending reward.
If you like to read traditional Christmas stories and don't already own the ones in this book, it would be a nice addition to your home library.

A Classic Christmas Treasury is a wonderful anthology of classic Christmas stories, poems, carols, and author information. A Christmas Carol is one of my favorite classic Christmas tales and I really enjoyed reading the others as well. This book would make a lovely Christmas gift for all ages.

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Rock Point, Rock Point for allowing me to be an early reader. All opinions are my own.

A lovely collection of some classic Christmas tales, interspersed with music score and historical knowledge about the text and authorship. Makes for a wonderful, festive read for all ages.

If you've seen any of my reviews before on any platform, you'll know how much of a Christmas nut I am, and this extends to Christmas books (at time of writing, I have 32 copies of A Christmas Carol). And everything about this just screamed joy. The cover, the authors, the stories chosen. It was definitely my happy place. Even more when I read it on a warm July evening. There's something quite naughty about festive activities in the summer, and as someone who despises hot weather, I am here for it!

And the cover is gorgeous! I know I've been sent an advanced digital copy - which I am very grateful for - I will have to buy myself a physical copy once it's released as I think it's the kind of book you need on the shelf, as it's just really beautiful and warming and cosy, and would make a great festive present.

As well as the already mentioned stories in the synopsis, we also have:

- The First Noel
- Hark! The Herald Angels Sing
- Deck the Hall
- Up on the Housetop
- Jolly Old Saint Nicholas
- The Boy With the Box

That makes 16 in all. It's a mixture of songs and carols, short stories, poems, novellas, and longer, fairytales, things I love and thing's I'm only just reading. Even for a Christmas fan like me, I wasn't aware of some of them and so it's a great introduction to new and old readers alike.

It also gave me an excuse to reread A Christmas Carol, not that I need an excuse - I usually try to read it several times a year.

Full of warmth and charm and hope and joy - this would be the perfect addition to anyone's festive celebrations.

This was a very nice anthology of Christmas stories, poems and carols. It's always lovely to see the traditional tales we know so well, such as A Christmas Carol and The Night Before Christmas, but it's also very nice to see some that are less familiar and makes it worth buying or borrowing for anyone who loves Christmas. I also really enjoyed having the carols included - I personally don't read music but it would be especially lovely for anyone who could play them as well as read the stories. A lovely book.
Thanks to NetGalley for the copy in return for an honest review

This collection of Carols, poems and unabridged Christmas stories is reasonably priced (19.99 U.S.) and would make a lovely gift. Inside are such classics as A Christmas Carol, The Gift of the Magi, and Twas The Night Before Christmas, among many others. There is also the sheet music for a number of well known songs. All in all, a nice collection that would offer some nice reading time for the whole family.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group for this title. All opinions are my own.

When you love all the classics of Christmas stories, you know you need this collection! The nostalgia, the quintessential Christmas stories and the utmost classics are collected in this edition. Let yourself be a child again; believe in the magic of Christmas. For me, there was a return to well-known stories, such as A Christmas Carol, and then some others that I did not know as well, such as Little Piccola. Each story includes the original content as well as information about the author and a bit of history. Appropriate for all ages and all lovers of all Christmas stories.
I received a complimentary copy from the publisher via NetGalley and all opinions expressed are solely my own, freely given.

It was a little odd to be reading a Christmas book in the summer but I love Christmas and this book is literally a Christmas treasure.

A Christmas Carol and The Nutcracker are old favourites I know well but the book introduced me to some new stories too. It would be wonderful to share with children and read through advent (it even has some Christmas sheet music in there for the musical.

Such a perfect collection of Christmas stories! Imbued with sheet music for classic Christmas Carols put this over the top for me. At the end of each story is an About the Author and A Bit of History which was a nice addition. All stories most of us have read and some we maybe haven’t but should! Coming out at the perfect time for either your own collection to bring a little Christmas to your spirit or as a gift for a friend. Thank you NetGalley for the free copy in exchange for my honest review. I loved it!

Hello everyone, I hope you are fine.
I tried to dowload this wonderful book but it doesn't work, unfortunately I can't comment on this book.

Bonjour, j’espère que vous allez bien.
J’ai tenté de técharger ce merveilleux livre mais cela ne fonctionne pas, malheureusement je ne peux pas faire de commentaire sur ce livre.

This is a Treasury of true Classic Christmas stories. Almost a third of the book is A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. Other popular stories include The Grift of the Magi, The Nutcracker and the Mouse King, The Fir Tree, and Twas the Night Before Christmas. Carols are also included to be played on a piano. I was familiar with everything except a story called Bits by Helen G. Ricks who is an African American writer. This is the kind of book to be pulled out and read from every years. I liked getting the brief notes about the authors as well. About the only thing that could have made this book better would be adding some illustrations.

This book was beautiful 😍 really gave me the Christmas feels, the cover is so pretty. So many great Christmas stories in one place my new favourite Christmas books

Drawn by its beautiful festive cover, I was even more curious when I saw that this Christmas book contained more than the usual suspects. Of course, you'll find A Christmas Carol and The Nutcracker, but more interestingly, there are tales I had never read before, but also music scores of timeless Christmas carols, and that makes this book stand out in the crowd of Christmas anthologies.

However, I would much prefer to leaf through it as a paper format, because as a digital book, it wasn't super comfortable to read.

A Classic Christmas Treasury is a delightful book full of some of the best authors to ever write a Christmas story. Many I hadn't read in many a year and they took me back. I love the short stories as I can read them a bit at a time and savor them.

I am trying to make them last into the Christmas season - or I will just re-read my favorites. I highly recommend this wonderful book.
