"A Versailles Christmas-Tide" by Mary Stuart Boyd is a historical novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story takes place during a winter season in France, focusing on familial bonds and holiday traditions, particularly centered around the experiences of a family as they navigate personal adversity while trying to celebrate Christmas. At the start of the book, the main characters prepare for the joyful return of their son, referred to as "the Boy," who is a student at Versailles. As they eagerly await his arrival, unexpected news of his illness—scarlet fever—derails their plans, prompting them to rush to his side. The opening captures their anxious journey to versailles, detailing a comedic encounter with a young woman named Placidia, whose clumsiness adds a layer of lightheartedness amid the tension. Following these events, the family focuses on bringing some Christmas cheer to their sick son and another boy in the hospital, blending themes of care, love, and the poignant spirit of the holiday amidst adversity.
