The Christmas Hirelings

 

The Christmas Hirelings  BY: Mary Elizabeth Braddon

This is such a cute short book. I really enjoy reading this around Christmas time. In this old England tale a widowed man who is enjoying the company of his niece and old friend around Christmas time. When the old friend proposes that in order to bring some fun into this lonely mans life that they may hire some children for Christmas to come and enjoy the holiday with them. The widowed man agrees only because his much beloved niece says it would make her so happy. But the widowed old man get more than just a joyous Christmas time out of the arrangement.
