For a year or so, I've been following Letters of Note and have mentioned it on my book blog several times because many of the letters are from authors I love. For Christmas this year, there are links to the letters written about the season. All of them are wonderful and articulate, and you should really read them all, but the one that I'm including is about the Christmas event that Sainsbury made their famous commercial about.
But don't neglect the other wonderful letters
from Steinbeck, Tolkien, Mark Twain, and others.
I especially liked Sylvia Warner Townsend's
"thank you" letter for the gift of a matchbox.
Merry Christmas!
It's a remarkable story, isn't it!
ReplyDeleteIt really is a remarkable story, and the other letters were are also intriguing!
DeleteBeautiful story. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSo interesting to see a letter from an actual participant!
DeleteIt's amazing the hearts that God gives us. Even when we hate our enemies and fear for our lives, we can find a way to share our humanity. Thanks for the link--I definitely will read the others.
ReplyDeleteHappy 2016!
Happy 2016 to you, too, Mary! Hope you enjoy the letters from Steinbeck and Twain; as a teacher, it is especially interesting to see a more personal view of authors.
