Gift of Magi
BY THE SAME ILLUSTRATOR AS 'THE CHRISTMAS MIRACLE OF JONATHAN TOOMEY'
A heart-warming tale reminding us that love is more important than possessions.
Della has saved for months to buy the perfect gift for her beloved husband, Jim. But $1.87 is the miserable sum of her efforts, and it’s now Christmas Eve. There is only one thing left to do: sell her most treasured possession, her beautiful knee-length hair. But when Jim returns home he is aghast -- his gift for her is the tortoiseshell combs she has coveted for so long! And to buy them he has sold his precious gold pocket-watch -- for which Della has just sacrificed her hair to buy a perfect platinum chain!
This much loved tale has been adapted for stage and screen, and is widely referenced in popular culture.
