Book Description

Publication Date: Oct 2000
The winner of multiple Hugo and Nebula Awards, Connie Willis capture the timeless essence of generosity and goodwill in this magical collection if Christmas stories.  These eight tales-two of which have never before been published-boldly reimagine the stories of Christmas while celebrating the power of love and compassion.  This enchanting treasury includes:

"Miracle," in which a young woman's carefully devised plans to find romance go awry when her guardian angel shows her the true meaning of love
"In Coppelius's Toyshop," where a jaded narcissist finds himself trapped in a crowded toy store at Christmastime
"Epiphany," in which three modern-day wisemen embark on a quest unlike any they've ever experienced
"Inn," where a choir singer gives shelter to a homeless man and his pregnant wife-only to learn later that there's much more to the couple than meets the eye
And more

5.0 out of 5 stars Seasonally refreshing short stories from an acclaimed author 2 Jan 2000
By A Customer
Format:Hardcover
I've just finished this book after being given it for Christmas. I must admit I've not been able to put it down. The eight stories in this book are funny, positive, enlightening and entertaining. They bring back thoughts of what Christmas is all about in many guises, from the commercial and economic to the religious. Though I am not a particularly religious person, the fact that many people see this time as important, as perhaps does Ms. Willis, was enjoyable. What was perhaps most enjoyable was the way that Ms. Willis creates knowledgeable views that are multifaceted and not always similar. Some of the stories (The Cat's Paw, In Coppelius's Toyshop) were quite chilling, as well as humourous. Though I normally read Ms. Willis for her science fiction, I can wholeheartedly recommend this book to others in a much wider audience. It is one that I can see me reaching for on a seasonal basis, year on year - perhaps that was the point! Another winner - how does she manage it?

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great work by Connie Willis 18 Dec 2004
By Laine Minna
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I have read several books and stories by Connie Willis, and she's become one of my favourite authors. This warm collection of Christmas stories was not disappointment, either, but everything you'd expect from Ms. Willis - romance, humour, mystery and also genuine Christmas spirit.

This book, like other works by her, has been labeled as "science fiction". But if you're looking for space travel and funny aliens, this probably is not the book for you :) This collection comes perhaps closer to magical realism than scifi, and I would suggest it for also larger audience, not only for scifi enthusiasts. The genre of these stories varies from comedy to romance, from English country manor mystery to story of religious epiphany. "Inn", church comedy with more serious undertone, and "Cat's Paw", English Christmas mystery, are probably my two favourites.

Warmly recommended. The Denver Post critic says in the back cover of the book, "When the holidays seem too stressful, pick up Miracle and Other Christmas Stories, slow down, read a few and remember what the holiday is all about", and I couldn't agree more.

3.0 out of 5 stars Break from those sugary Christmas Reads 15 Dec 2012
By F Keegan
Format:Mass Market Paperback
8 stories with a different take on the Christmas theme, nice to break it up from the usual sweet tales I read at this time of the year. My favourite had to be Inn, where Mary and Joseph arrive at the local church needing shelter after losing their way to Bethlehem.
