(154 pages) The Catholic Fireside Companion is an anthology of delightful and inspiring anecdotes which first saw the light of day in 1858 — the year of the apparitions of Our Blessed Lady at Lourdes. It is the pleasantest sort of book : every tale it contains is short and easy to read but sure to charm and edify. Whether you keep it by your fireside or your bedside, whether you read it alone or aloud to a family group, you can be sure that it will afford pleasure and usefulness for any quiet moment and can be read and re-read without fatigue. An ideal present for Christmas or any special occasion.
