About This Book
A respected judge and his wife build a roomy home filled with an extravagant number of closets to store gifts and household goods, and their children take possession of it. On a Christmas night portraits, closets, pets, and everyday objects animate and embark on a whimsical procession through rooms, creating playful and uncanny episodes that mix mischief and wonder. The tale moves between domestic description, humorous episodes of living furnishings, a festive supper, and the filling of stockings with imaginative, symbolic gifts, closing on a bright, celebratory morning that underscores generosity and the enchantment of common things.
