Background:
Twas Christmas time - a
dreary night,
The snow fell thick and fast,
And o'er the country swept the wind,
A keen and wintry blast.
So begins the tale of the Robin's Christmas Eve.
Trying to find food and shelter from the winter's storm, the Robin taps at the
window of the local Squire's home, all to no avail. Later, the Robin see's Jem, the
sexton of the local church and follows him. While Jem prepares the church for
Christmas services, the Robin takes shelter inside and finds the church decorated with
boughs of holly with berries. The story ends with the Robin singing a song of praise
to have found a home on Christmas.
The delightful chromolithograph prints capturing
the Victorian spirit of the poem were produced by printing house of Kronheim and Company.
