In Harriet Beecher Stowe’s short story, “Christmas in Poganuc”, a young New England girl, Dolly, is left alone while the village gathers at the church to celebrate Christmas. This timeless holiday classic was first published in the collection, “A Budget of Christmas Tales by Charles Dickens and Others” in 1895. It follows up on Harriet Beecher Stowe’s earlier work “Poganuc People: Their Loves and Lives”.
About the author
Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896) was a famed abolitionist and author. In 1851, she received $400 (a great sum in her day) for a serialized version of her novel, Uncle Tom’s Cabin, which went on to be the bestselling novel of the 19th century and the second most-sold book, behind The Bible. The novel’s portrayal of slavery is credited as a catalyst for the slavery debate in the years preceding the Civil War.
