In Harriet Beecher Stowe’s short story, “Christmas in Poganuc”, a young New England girl, Dolly, is left alone while the village gathers at the church to celebrate Christmas. This timeless holiday classic was first published in the collection, “A Budget of Christmas Tales by Charles Dickens and Others” in 1895. It follows up on Harriet Beecher Stowe’s earlier work “Poganuc People: Their Loves and Lives”.
