24 Stories for Advent, by Brigitte Weninger

Kind of like an Advent calendar that you read: these twenty-four heartwarming tales make each day of Advent a special treat that children (and young-at-heart adults) will look forward to as they count down the December days to Christmas. And when Christmas is just around the corner, anything is possible... among the stories in this book, you'll find four elves working busily in the forest, Mother Holly covering the earth with snow, and the children waiting for the Christ Child. If you love Advent and the anticipation of Christmas, you'll love this book. One story for each day (or night, when we prefer to read our stories) of Advent.

Stories collected and retold by Brigitte Weninger. Illustrated by Eve Tharlet. First published in Switzerland under the title Geschichten aus dem Weihnachtswald. This English translation is by David Henry Wilson.
