The World Library Foundation's newsletter for December 2020 (Volume 4, Issue 12). By the Fire: the stories families have read aloud in December for two hundred years, from Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol, published on December 19, 1843, and "A Visit from St. Nicholas," first printed in Troy, New York, on December 23, 1823, to Little Women, Irving's Old Christmas, O. Henry's "The Gift of the Magi" and the ghost stories of M. R. James. Also in this issue: the Executive Director's message, "At the End of a Long Year"; Beethoven at 250, on the composer baptized in Bonn on December 17, 1770; and from the Library Exhibits, Lighthouses and Their Keepers.
