The yule log : a series of stories for the young

A charming collection of festive tales, this volume revives the old English custom of lighting a Yule log and gathering around its warm glow to share stories. Each narrative is woven with the spirit of Christmas night—softly lit, full of wonder, and meant for young listeners. The book invites families to settle by a crackling fire and let imagination dance like the flickering flames.

The opening story follows a curious boy who spends evenings staring at a bright, solitary star, dreaming of the worlds beyond. When his longing catches the attention of a gentle angel, he is gifted a pair of silver wings that will carry him toward the distant light—so long as they remain polished and bright. With his new wings, he lifts off into the night, embarking on a magical flight that promises discovery and awe.

Other tales in the collection follow talking animals, hidden snow‑covered valleys, and gentle moral lessons that sparkle like frost on windowpanes. They are perfect companions for cozy holiday evenings by the fire.
