The greatest Christmas story is Dickens' 'A Christmas Carol'. An ideal coupling for those Christmas evenings of Christmas journeys, this work presents a selection of words, stories, essays, poems and reflections. It features music by Britten Corelli and traditional carols.
Separated from his regiment during a retreat, Rifleman Matthew Dodd of Wellington's army engaged the French single-handedly and eventually causes their retreat. If you liked "The Gun," you will love this book.
