ars, bright with hopes, are born to take their places; but
Carol lives again in every chime of Christmas bells that peal glad
tidings, and in every Christmas anthem sung by childish voices.

THE BIRDS' CHRISTMAS CAROL

[Dramatized Edition]

_By Kate Douglas Wiggin_

This beautiful story, which has been a home and school favorite for
forty years, takes to itself new vividness and interest in Mrs. Wiggin's
own dramatization.

In preparing this version, the author had in mind the limitations of the
amateur and the time available for school theatricals. The book is so
arranged that any single scene or the entire story may be staged with
equal effect either with or without stage settings or costumes.

For the school, the home, or the amateur dramatic club this is an ideal
play--simple, practical, thoroughly interesting, and always successful.
