The winner of multiple Hugo and Nebula Awards, Connie Willis captures the timeless essence of generosity and goodwill in this magical collection of 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 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.

Also includes: "The Pony," "Adaptation," "Cat's Paw," and "Newsletter."
