The Best Christmas

by Lee Kingman
Illustrated by  Susannah Natti

Available in November 2001, this new edition of the children's story,"The Best Christmas" by Lee Kingman, first published in 1949, is illustrated by her daughter Susanna Natti. It is the story of a Finnish family, the Seppala's, living in Gloucester, Massachusetts in the 1900's. The oldest son, Matti, is reported missing at sea on a stone barge sailing to Boston in December. Ten year old Erkki worries about missing Matti and the Christmas spirit, he thinks of something that he can do for his family. This is truly a story for all ages. "The Best Christmas has so caught the Christmas spirit of warmth and kindness, of unselfish desire to do something for someone else, that it can be placed on the family bookshelf to be read and re-read as the Christmas seasons come around." The Christian Science Monitor
