Kate Douglas Wiggin
The Romance of a Christmas Card
language
( Dec. 25, 1916)
First published in 1916, The Romance of a Christmas Card by Kate Douglas Wiggin is the sweet story of a how a hand-drawn Christmas card brings home two prodigal sons to their families. Dick Larrabee is a local pastor’s son who could never live up to what his father’s parisioners thought he should be, so he left home to make his own way in the world. Dick’s friend David Gilman followed Dick’s lead and ended up with the same reputation. However, David ”married in haste” but only had to “repent at leisure” long enough for his wife to give birth to twins and then die. He promptly left town, leaving his babies under the care of his dutiful and loving half-sister, Letty. This is a very short novel (more of a short story or novella, really), so I don’t want to give anything away. If you like old fashioned stories with a little bit of romance, this is a cozy little story to curl up with and enjoy by the light of your fireplace (or your Christmas tree).
