The Christmas Pony

3.5/5 ( ratings)

The time is 1912. The place is Amherst, Nova Scotia. The people are the McCullys, a gay, closely knit family who live in a beautiful Victorian house with the wast Tantramar Marshes as their backyard. Christmas was truly Christmas in those days, a season of visits, dances, and wonderful food, anticipated for months and remembered for years. But the most memorable Christmas of all began when Mrs. McCully said "Every child should have a pony."

What follows is the true story of a secret a whole town was asked to keep, as remembered by a child who was convinced--for her own reasons--that Santa would not come at all that year.

This book is one of those rarities--a truly enduring Christmas story for all ages, one which recaptures a time and a place where every child's dream comes true.
