The First Christmas Tree
Henry van Dyke
Read by PennyAnn
This is a folk tale of how the first tree came into being. It tells of a hero Winfried with his young companion stepping boldly into the pagan right of the passing into winter. He preaches the gospel of Christ and His birth on that night; then from the heavens came a miracle that resulted in the salvation of the people. To celebrate, they brought new life or the Christmas tree into their homes. (Summary by Penny Ann) (0 hr 50 min)

Great story. The reader does fairly well, but choppy in parts. Overall, interesting to listen to.
Lindsey Fitch
The book itself, wonderful. The reading was difficult to listen to.
