An inspiring novel about a struggling inventor and his family in turn-of-the-century New England.

A man sits in his modest, rundown house in Connecticut, missing his wife, who is working overseas as a governess to make money for the family. But he does have the companionship of his son, who supports him in his dreams of success as an inventor.

As Christmas draws near, their spirits are low -- until the two begin working together on a model of a city, built with simple scraps, that leads them to a new place of hope... This tale, first published in 1907, has become a cherished classic -- and makes for a wonderful holiday read about life's truest gifts.
