Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
Louis-Honoré Fréchette, CMG, was a Canadian poet, politician, playwright, and short story writer. For his prose, he would be the first Quebecois to receive the Prix Montyon from the Académie française, as well as the first Canadian to receive any honor of this kind from a European nation.
Thank you to my father who gave this unique book to my husband! Very interesting to rediscover the holiday season stories that defined my francophone culture.
Amazing images throughout the book. Fascinated to learn about a Quebec-speaking politician/artist from Lévis that decided to write in English to share our unique traditions.
