David was a lonely little boy, and it seemed for a while that Christmas was going to be an empty one that year. For there he was, far away from his mother and father, up in the snow-covered hill country with only his nurse, Johanna, and her husband. But one evening he met another lonely creature, a locked-out fairy, who introduced him to his still lonelier neighbors who came from all over the world. The stories they told him, the Christmas they shared, and the happy surprise for David at the end make this a book that will live forever in the hearts of its readers.

This Way to Christmas has been a favorite with children since its first publication in 1924. It is the pleasure of Angelico Press to make this classic, with illustrations by Maginel Wright Barney, available once again to modern readers young and old.
