Free (iTunes CA) Dear Canada: A Xmas To Remember [Kids/YA Festive Historical Stories]

[ATDrake]

Dear Canada: A Christmas To Remember — Tales of Comfort and Joy by Jean Little and Others, which makes it sound like some of the contributions are coming from the adversarial islanders on LOST (Wikipedia), is a festive collection of original historical tales by some of Canada's top kids/YA authors tying into their books in the Dear Canada series of kids/YA historical Canadiana novels, free courtesy of publisher Scholastic Canada.

This was the iTunes Canada store's featured Free Book of the Week.

Currently free, probably just until the scheduled weekly rotation tonight @ iTunes (available to Canadians and apparently doesn't exist in the other countries I spot-checked).

Description
A wonderful seasonal anthology for Dear Canada readers, both old and new!

A real treat for fans of this series, and all lovers of historical fiction! Eleven stories that each revisit a favourite character from books in the Dear Canada series are included in this special collection. These are completely original tales that stand alone as heartwarming Christmas stories, but also serve as a lovely "next chapter" to their original books.

Each story is written by one of Canada's top award-winning writers for children, including Jean Little, Sarah Ellis, Maxine Trottier, Carol Matas and more. This collection is a lovely companion to A Season of Miracles, and will be treasured year after year at holiday time!
