Mrs Brownlow's Christmas Party
Manage episode 383558641 series 3360529
In this holiday episode of Forward into the Past, host J.C. Rede narrates the Christmas story "Mrs. Brownlow's Christmas Party" by Willis Boyd Allen. Before diving into the story, Rede provides background information on Allen, a prolific author and editor of children's literature in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Allen believed that children deserved their own unique literature and wrote over 30 books for children, often set in exotic locations and dealing with important social issues. "Mrs. Brownlow's Christmas Party" tells the story of the Brownlow family's preparations for a Christmas party and the unexpected turn of events when none of their invited guests show up. Instead, they invite a group of homeless children to join them, and the true spirit of Christmas shines through as they all come together to celebrate.
