"Christmas in Sweden; or, A festival of light" by Sarah Gertrude Pomeroy is a charming children's story likely written in the early 20th century. This enchanting tale captures the experiences of an American family, the Edgecombes, as they travel to Sweden to spend the father’s sabbatical year. The book explores the traditions surrounding Christmas, focusing on the Swedish celebrations and customs during the festive season, which is beautifully referred to as a "festival of light." The narrative begins with the excitement of the Edgecombe family as they prepare to journey to Sweden, where they will immerse themselves in local culture and traditions, particularly around Jul-tide (Christmas). Throughout their stay, they encounter various customs, such as "Dipping Day," and enjoy the festive atmosphere as the community gears up for the holiday. The children, Dorothy and John, form friendships with local children and participate in the joyous celebrations. A significant aspect of the story is the link between the Edgecombes and their former maid, Freda, culminating in a heartwarming reunion of sorts as they deliver gifts to Freda's family. Ultimately, the book emphasizes themes of friendship, cultural exchange, and the warmth of community during the holiday season. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
