Books for Christmas and New Year Holiday Literature
A reader extols holiday book displays in big eastern cities and reviews Christmas gift options. The piece highlights Sophie May titles, The Abbess of Port Royal, The New World and the New Book, L. T. Meade series, Standish of Standish, and varied works from Scribner's, Houghton Mifflin, Cassell, and Grim & Co. It notes thematic threads like Puritan history, female authorship, and political religion, with a brief local note on related 1880s topics and a teaser on Ayer's Hair Vigor.
