Owen Parry has compiled four heart warming Christmas themed short stories and one short poem that were a pleasure to read.
The stories have a double theme of Christmas and soldiers during the Civil war (from both sides, North and South). He brings into view the human side of soldiering and illustrates the bright side of the people who fought this terrible war.
Its a good read, during or not during the holiday season. I would recommend that you put this book on your want list or your TBR list.
