The stories in this volume are: A Bird in the Snow A Christmas in the Forest The Louis-d'or A Christmas Supper in the Marais The Princess and the Ragamuffin A Tragedy The Three Low Masses The Poet's Christmas Eve I take Supper with my Wife The Yule Log The Mule and the Ox Solange, the Wolf-Girl Salvette and Bernadou Maese Pérez, the Organist The Torn Cloak Even though they were translated and originally published in the early 1890’s these stories have long been forgotten and are now seldom told or read in English homes which makes this a welcome addition to any modern collection of Christmas stories. 10% of the publisher’s profit from the sale of this book will be donated to UNICEF. ======= KEYWORDS/TAGS: Christmas, folklore, fairy tales, myths.

As Americans--both civilians and veterans--worked to determine the meanings of identity for blind veterans of World War I, they bound cultural constructs of blindness to all the emotions and contingencies of mobilizing and fighting the war, and healing from its traumas. Sighted Americans’ wartime rehabilitation culture centered blind soldiers and veterans in a mix of inspirational stories. Veterans worked to become productive members of society even as ableism confined their unique life experiences to a collection of cultural tropes that suggested they were either downcast wrecks of their former selves or were morally superior and relatively flawless as they overcame their disabilities and triumphantly journeyed toward successful citizenship. Sullivan investigates the rich lives of blind soldiers and veterans and their families to reveal how they confronted barriers, gained an education, earned a living, and managed their self-image while continually exposed to the public’s scrutiny of their success and failures.
