First published in 1875, Harriet Beecher Stowe's "Betty's Bright Idea" is a perfect reading selection for Christmas, about the spirit of giving. This Christmas collection of short stories was clearly influenced by the three tours of Europe Stowe made after the success of "Uncle Tom's Cabin".
The stories included in this collection are "Betty's Bright Idea"; "Deacon Pitkin's Farm"; and "The First Christmas of New England".
