Product Description

""The First Christmas Tree: A Story of the Forest"" by Henry Van Dyke is a heartwarming tale that tells the story of a young boy named Willem who lives in a small village in Germany. One day, while wandering in the forest, Willem comes across a group of trees that are being cut down by a group of men. He decides to save one of the trees, a beautiful fir tree, and takes it back to his village. Willem's mother is initially upset with him for bringing a tree into their home, but she eventually comes around and helps him decorate it with candles and ornaments. The tree becomes the talk of the village, and soon other families begin to bring trees into their homes as well. As Christmas approaches, Willem and his family attend a church service where they hear the story of the birth of Jesus. Inspired by the story, Willem decides to decorate the fir tree with gifts for his family and friends. This becomes a tradition in the village, and the Christmas tree becomes a symbol of love and generosity. ""The First Christmas Tree"" is a timeless story that celebrates the true meaning of Christmas and the spirit of giving. It is a perfect book to read with family and friends during the holiday season.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
