The Woodcutter's Christmas by Brad Kessler with photographs by Dona Ann McAdams

Such a lovely holiday story that feels so relevant, even though it was written years ago. This new edition has a permanent home in my New England library. I was transported to the Vermont that I have been lucky to visit and write about often myself. Just as the main characters had an open invitation, I believe everyone should find their way to the Green Mountain State at least once. There's a bit of magic there among the trees, for sure. —Kim Knox Beckius, Yankee travel editor

Featuring elegant black-and-white photographs by an award-winning photographer, The Woodcutter's Christmas takes readers on a reflective journey, blending the serene beauty of Vermont winters with the bustling streets of Manhattan. Seen through the eyes of a man who nurtures Christmas trees, this story explores the contrast between nature's slow, steady rhythms and the fleeting, disposable culture of modern society. When the Woodcutter sees the trees he lovingly raised discarded on city curbs after the holiday season, his perspective shifts. After a chance meeting in Manhattan with a kindred spirit, the lessons, spirit, and meaning of Christmas is beautifully reinforced in Kessler's lovely text.
