Miss Santa Claus of the Pullman
With illustrations by REGINALD B. BIRCH
Opening: THE last half hour had seemed endless to Will'm, almost as long as the whole four years of his life. With his stubby little shoes drawn up under him, and his soft bobbed hair flapping over his ears every time the rockers tilted forward, he sat all alone in the sitting-room behind the shop, waiting and rocking.
It seemed as if everybody at the Junction wanted something that afternoon; thread or buttons or yarn, or the home-made doughnuts which helped out the slim stock of goods in the little notion store which had once been the parlor. And it seemed as if[4] Grandma Neal never would finish waiting on the customers and come back to tell the rest of the story about the Camels and the Star; for no sooner did one person go
out than another one came in. He knew by the tinkling of the bell over the front door, every time it opened or shut.

It is a good story that was fun to read. It is simple, yet wholesome and interesting for readers of all ages. I recommend it, even for children.
Annie Fellows Johnston (1863-1931) was an American author of children's fiction who wrote the popular "Little Colonel" series, which was the basis for the 1935 Shirley Temple film The Little Colonel. She was born and grew up in McCutchanville, Indiana, a small unincorporated town near Evansville, Indiana.Miss Santa ClausWith illustrations by REGINALD B.

This was a very sweet classic children's book about two young children, Christmas and family. I really enjoyed the Librivox audio edition and will probably read this again at Christmas.
