Christmas Tales from 'Round the World Morris, Harrison S. (Harrison Smith) 1856-1948 creator text utu 2006 monographic en 1 online resource : multiple file formats "In the Yule-Log Glow, Book II" by Harrison S. Morris is a collection of Christmas tales edited in the late 19th century. The book brings together various narratives inspired by the holiday season, offering readers a mix of charming stories that likely evoke festive themes and moral lessons. Among the tales featured is "Christmas with the Baron," which introduces the callous financial oppressor Baron von Schrochslofsleschshoffinger and his beloved daughter, Lady Bertha, who seeks to counteract her father's cruelty. The opening of the collection presents a vivid introduction to the baron, showcasing a man characterized by greed and harshness towards his tenants. It describes the baron’s oppressive nature and how his daughter, feeling sympathy for the impoverished people living under her father’s rule, attempts to bring solace to them. As she navigates her secret love for a struggling artist, Carl, the plot hints at themes of redemption and moral transformation, suggesting that Christmas may bring about changes not only through charity but through personal awakening and familial bonds. The baron’s interactions with King Christmas— a fantastical goblin character— hint at more magical, transformative journey yet to unfold in subsequent tales.
