Other editions of book The Christmas Child

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

This book is part of the TREDITION CLASSICS series. The creators of this series are united by passion for literature and driven by the intention of making all public domain books available in printed format again - worldwide. At tredition we believe that a great book never goes out of style. Several mostly non-profit literature projects provide content to tredition. To support their good work, tredition donates a portion of the proceeds from each sold copy. As a reader of a TREDITION CLASSICS book, you support our mission to save many of the amazing works of world literature from oblivion.

This short-story is about a well-off spinster lady, Miss Priscilla, who lives in South Wales and who adopted a niece, Rhoda, as an infant. When Rhoda was 18, Miss Priscilla had no choice but to adopt the child of another niece. This child was named Joan. Rhoda and Joan were inseparable until, against Miss Priscilla's plans, wishes, and knowledge, Rhoda ran off, married, had a child, and was deserted by her husband. The rest of the story concerns what happens to Rhoda and her child, and whether she will ever be accepted by Miss Priscilla again.
