By George MacDonald

Illustrated by Sarah Geesey Editing and Afterword by Mandy Pallock

Rediscover the warmth of faith, family, and redemption through a timeless tale from beloved Scottish author George MacDonald, whose writings inspired C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien.

In Victorian London, the Greatorex family has wealth but not love. Augustus Greatorex, a proud merchant, believes himself a good father-yet his little daughter Phosy, quiet and tenderhearted, longs for affection he never gives. When she misunderstands a Christmas sermon, her innocent faith sets in motion a series of events that awaken every heart in the household.

Through sorrow, the heartbreak of loss, and unexpected grace, MacDonald weaves a moving story of transformation. A servant's pride is broken, a craftsman's despair redeemed, and a father's heart restored to his child. The Gifts of the Child Christ reminds readers that the truest gifts of Christmas are not found beneath the tree, but within the love that reflects the Father-heart of God Himself.

Gently updated for today's readers and graced with charming illustrations by Sarah Geesey and an afterword by Mandy Pallock, this beautiful edition invites families to slow down, gather close, and remember the wonder of being truly seen, known, and loved.
