Commentary During Books The Birds' Christmas Carol

The story is about Carol Bird, a Christmas-born child, who as a young girl is unusually loving and generous, having a positive effect on everyone with whom she comes into contact. She is the youngest member of her family and has devoted older brothers. At about the age of 5, Carol contracts an unspecified illness (possibly tuberculosis), and, by the time she is 10, she is bedridden; physicians say that she does not have long to live. The novel primarily involves Carol making plans for a Christmas celebration for the nine Ruggles children, a poor, working-class family living near the Birds. The story is primarily a wistful moral tale about a saintly child, but is enlivened by many humorous scenes, particularly those concerning the home life of the Ruggles family.

Column Based On Books The Birds' Christmas Carol

Id like to thank my Goodreads friend Nancy for directing me to this one. What a sweet novella, and a classic, written in 1887. Carol Bird is a sickly eleven-year-old who was born on Christmas Day. She is humbled to share a birthday with Jesus Christ and has a good handle on the true meaning of Christmas. She wants nothing more for Christmas than to do something nice for the nine Ruggles children next store who have very little of their own. In the world we live in today it is such a pleasure to

I found an older book with several classic Christmas stories that included The Birds Christmas Carol by Kate Douglas Wiggins, so I did a little research on the story. This story was first introduced by Wiggins in 1887 and became very popular during the first part of a 20th Century. It was used in elementary schools to teach children to help and sacrifice for others especially during the Christmas season. I decided that this should be one of the Christmas stories that I read this year.This short

A classic Christmas tale that has been a traditional read in my family for generations. You can't beat the Ruggles' children for their joy of life or their mother for her McGrillness! It is a story that begins and ends at Christmas, the most joyous time of the year. Obviously, I highly recommend it, but I can never get through it without crying.

This review also appears on my blog, Read-at-Home Mom.Born on Christmas Day, Carol is the youngest member of the Bird family and the only girl. At age ten, she is gravely ill and confined to her bed, expected not to live much longer. Rather than pitying herself, however, Carol is ever mindful of the needs of others, particularly her next door neighbors, the Ruggles family. On the day that turns out to be her last Christmas, Carol hosts a Christmas party for the Ruggles children, complete with

This was a very "nice" book. A little too moralistic for me as an adult, but I bet I would have liked it as a kid. Nice sentiment, but the heroine is just to saccharine for me. I think I liked to think (as a little girl) that I would be this kind, generous creature, but I also really looked up to Pippi Longstocking and other trouble-making heroines, so who knows.. :)

Carol, brothers, carol,Carol joyfully... A baby girl who was to be named Lucy was born on Christmas morning, and that song sung by the boys choir that rang out from the nearby church provided the name for the Bird familys new daughter. She was a sickly child who rarely left her room, but she was a sweet, generous soul. The Birds Christmas Carol is an old-fashioned short story that was first published in 1886. The style and language takes a bit getting used to, but it grew on me quickly, as its

This Victorian novella was kept from being too sentimental by its sly humor and the presence of the rambunctious Ruggles family. I enjoyed the sweet family relationships. A nice story to read during the Christmas season.
