“Frances Trego Montgomery has the happy faculty of knowing what the small boy and his sister like in the way of fiction.”
“A CHRISTMAS WITH SANTA CLAUS” is the title of an ideal Christmas book by Frances Trego Montgomery, illustrated in colors in a most bewitching way.
The story recites the adventures of Jack and Gladys, whom Santa picks up and whisks away to the Northland. There they make the acquaintance of Mrs. Santa, and help fill the Saint’s chimney bags. When all is ready and the sleigh is packed, they accompany old Santa on his annual trip.
“If you doubt the joys of a ‘Christmas with Santa Claus,’ read of the pleasures that awaited two little waifs the big-hearted Christian saint gathered into his home. Mrs. Montgomery introduces you to his motherly wife. She is as good as another grandmother. Try her!”—New York World.
SANTA CLAUS’ TWIN BROTHER
Boston Ideas says:
“Mrs. Montgomery’s ideas are touched with the sparkle of real genius. It’s a delight to travel in her company.”
Can anyone make a better play-fellow than Santa himself? That is the question every child ponders after reading “A Christmas with Santa Claus.” And likely they would ask it in vain if Mrs. Montgomery had not written “Santa Claus’ Twin Brother.” This lively story convinces them that there is one other who enters into their moods just as thoroughly as the merry old fellow with ruddy face and snowy beard, and why should he not, for he is Kris Kringle, twin brother of Santa.
Four little children are fortunate enough to have a frolic with these two merry fellows, and their laughter rings through every page of the captivating story.
