My favorite stories were:
+ "The Moss Rose," about a young skater who loses her costume and skates on the subway, but it all turns out okay.
+ "The Princess," about a princess who goes shoe-shopping and gets shanghaied into performing in a ballet incognito.
+ "The Chain," about a boy who imagines that all of his favorite fictional characters form a chain of joy that helps his sister get well enough to come home from the hospital for Christmas.
+ "Christmas at Collers," about some city kids who are forced to spend Christmas in the country with their ailing grandmother and discover that hustle and bustle are not essential elements for a merry Christmas.

ReplyDeleteCharity, same here! I had never heard of her or her books before that movie, and I 100% bought some when Book Depository was closing because I have always wanted to see what her writing is like, thanks to Kathleen Kelly.
