Cruthers Smuthers and the Green Ghost of Christmas studies the materialistic theme with a young tyke who becomes the consummate brat through his greedy consumption of Christmas-until he meets a green ghost that scares him to his wit's end! The Light of the Beggar focuses on two urban beggars who view their lack of wealth differently-one with derision, the other, with Christlike optimism.These allegorical and spiritual poems will captivate the mind through sonorous and memorable rhyme set to match the music of Christmas.
