The writer of these lines, looking back to the introduction of "The Bunch of Keys," finds it there said that "this Christmas volume is the growth of friendly communion, of pleasant chats of an evening, of fellowship of taste and feeling." He is very grateful to know that those words may be prefixed to this volume also. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
