the article presents information on two books "Come Christmas," by Lesley Frost and "Poems of Justice," by Thomas Curtis Clark. "Come Christmas," edited by Lesley Frost, is an excellent anthology of Christmas poetry. There are carols, nativity plays, prayers, lyrics, and prose commentaries. The editor has included, very wisely, a number of French carols, fewer from the German, several in Latin or in Old English with Latin refrains, and even Huron Indian songs, all in the original languages. There are poems which will delight grown ups, a whole section of verse for children, a number of little Christmas plays suitable for acting, and some short stories about Christmas.
