Nicholas: A Manhattan Christmas Story (Dramatic Reading)
Anne Carroll Moore
Read by LibriVox Volunteers
This fanciful children's story was one of the 1925 Newbery Honor books (published in 1924). Moore's novel blends an interesting tour of an early-twentieth-century New York City with U.S. history and magical dream-like scenarios that children will love. - Summary by Lynette Caulkins
