A Christmas Accident and Other Stories
Trumbull, Annie Eliot
Christmas stories; United States -- Social life and customs -- 19th century -- Fiction
A delightful, gossipy little sketch of a week's
holiday on Cape Cod. It is full of bright things,
imaginative to a degree, and yet based on facts as
we have all seen them on the sands of the Cape.
The book is beautifully printed and
bound.--_Boston Globe._

The reader will enjoy the wit, the delicate
satire, the happy bits of nature description.--_S.
S. Times._
They are New England stories and exhibit a
delicate comprehension of many types of New
England character. They are delightfully readable,
and the books ought to be favorites.--_The
Congregationalist._
Miss Trumbull's claim to the attention of her
readers is undisputed. Her short stories possess a
freshness, a poignancy and underlying quick-witted
penetration into human feelings, motives and
experiences that give them a peculiar charm. Her
choice of themes is such as appeals to a wide
circle and her handling of the persons of her
imagination is exquisite.--_Hartford Post._
