YULE-TIDE IN MANY LANDS
By MARY P. PRINGLE and CLARA A. URANN
=Fully illustrated and decorated=
=12mo Cloth Price, $1.25 Net=
[Illustration]
The varying forms of Christmas observance at different times and in
different lands are entertainingly shown by one trained in choosing and
presenting the best to younger readers. The symbolism, good cheer, and
sentiment of the grandest of holidays are shown as they appeal in
similar fashion to those whose lives seem so widely diverse. The first
chapter tells of the Yule-Tide of the Ancients, and the eight succeeding
chapters deal respectively with the observance of Christmas and New
Year's, making up the time of "Yule," or the turning of the sun, in
England, Germany, Scandinavia, Russia, France, Italy, Spain, and
America. The space devoted to each country has at least one good
illustration.
"The descriptions as presented in this
well-prepared volume make interesting reading for
all who love to come in loving contact with others
in their high and pure
enjoyments."--_Herald-Presbyter, Cincinnati._
"The way Yule-Tide was and is celebrated is told
in a simple and instructive way, and the narrative
is enriched by appropriate poems and excellent
illustrations."--_Cleveland Plain Dealer._
"It is written for young people and is bound to
interest them for the subject is a universal
one."--_American Church Sunday School Magazine._
