'"Once upon a time," in the winter season suggests happy, young faces grouped about a blazing fire ... the cosiness indoors is very attractive, especially now that the evening story hour is at hand.'

Bringing together much-loved stories, classic poems, and cultural legends from around the world, this collection offers a glimpse into the beauty and meaning found in winter. Featuring works by renowned writers such as Charles Dickens, Leo Tolstoi, and Christina Rossetti.
