The Burglar's Christmas

He drew a long sigh of rich content. The old life, with all its bitterness and useless antagonism and flimsy sophistries, its brief delights that were always tinged with fear and distrust and unfaith, that whole miserable, futile, swindled world of Bohemia seemed immeasurably distant and far away, like a dream that is over and done.First published in 1896, The Burglar''s Christmas is a short story by the great American writer Willa Cather. Set in Chicago on a cold Christmas Eve, the down-and-out Crawford learns the value of forgiveness.25% of the RRP of this title goes to Three Peas, a small charity supporting people who have had to flee war or persecution and who are seeking refuge or asylum in Europe.
