| Summary | "The Christmas Dream of Little Charles" by Justus Starr Redfield is a charming children's story likely written during the 19th century. This delightful tale revolves around the themes of childhood innocence and the magic of Christmas, featuring a young boy named Charles Estabrook who eagerly anticipates the holiday. The story unfolds as Charles falls asleep on Christmas Eve, leading to a fantastical dream where he encounters St. Nicholas. In the narrative, Charles, a kind-hearted boy with a love for horses, hangs his stocking by the chimney and settles into bed. In his dream, he discovers a jovial St. Nicholas who magically fills his stocking with delightful gifts meant for other children. Amidst the whimsical exchanges and laughter, Charles hopes for a pony of his own. When he awakens on Christmas morning, he experiences the joy of finding that his wish has come true, as his Uncle Ben has brought him the little pony he desired, named Lightfoot. The story captures the spirit of giving and the joy of Christmas, making it a heartwarming read for young audiences. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
