"Under the Holly: Christmas-Tide in Song and Story" by Henry F. Randolph is a collection of Christmas-themed prose and poetry written during the late 19th century. This anthology presents an assortment of reflections, tales, and carols centered around Christmas celebrations and the associated themes of love, generosity, and community spirit. The book explores the historical and cultural significance of the holiday, conveying a warm and nostalgic tone that invites readers to embrace the festive spirit. The content of the book covers various aspects of Christmas through charming stories and poems. Included in the collection are stories such as "Little Gottlieb," which tells of a poor boy's hope for Christmas miracles, and "The Little Match-Girl," a poignant tale by Hans Christian Andersen that highlights themes of poverty and loss. Other entries celebrate the joy and familial aspects of Christmas, featuring characters like Tiny Tim from "A Christmas Carol" who embodies the spirit of kindness despite personal challenges. Through lyrical storytelling and festive carols, Randolph's work captures the essence of Christmas as a time for renewal, reflection, and reconciliation among loved ones.
