In the Yule-Log Glow, Vol. 3 of 4: Christmas Poems From Round the World
Excerpt from In the Yule-Log Glow, Vol. 3 of 4: Christmas Poems From Round the World
Imagine this, if you will, and choose, from the pages to come, whatever of old or new will fit well into the conceit; for not a few carols or legends lie there which have done service under the snow-covered gables or by the crackling wood, and which will help, with their quaint heartiness or simple beauty, to realize the charm of Christmas the world around, - that charm which flows from hearty and generous good will towards men; which has for its inner light the kindly desire for peace on earth.

The stories are, for the most part, better and more diverse than the poems in the Yule-Log Glow series. An interesting but mostly forgettable hodge-podge arise here in Volume 3: old carols, snatches of epic poetry, and (to satisfy the seemingly-obligatory placement of an excerpt of Great Literature) a nearly-inexplicable excerpt of Le Morte d'Arthur completely unrelated to Christmas. There's good stuff here, but the chaff outnumbers the wheat.

This was a good story, however I do wish the author would have done more to make it more interesting. I look forward to reading more of this author's work.

Well, the English are well represented
But the rest of the world isn't. Still, here is everything from multiple boar's head carols, Herrick, Longfellow, Scott, to name a few. There's also assorted carols for everyone.
