The legend of the Christmas tree
The Collection of Classic Christmas Tales
Plot Summary
Seven-year-old William’s best friends are three trees and three animals, who all live near the village church. Although two of the trees, Fir Tree and Apple Tree, have a tendency to quarrel, harmony generally prevails. Until the day, that is, that the local priest announces plans to expand the church… meaning that Fir Tree will most likely have to be cut down. What follows is a wonderful story of friendship and togetherness – and the birth of an unforgettable legend!
