and I gotta say that it's quite the bittersweet ending despite being able to see it coming from early on in the collection. I might make a tradition of reading it each Christmas season.
Waiting for me under the tree this morning (in terms of books) were Robert Louis Stevenson's The Black Arrow and Kidnapped (really looking forward to reading this one). As well as Louis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass (as a collected volume), The Scarlet Pimpernel by Emma Orczy, and Tolkien's Mr. Bliss.
I actually sat down a while ago today and read Mr. Bliss. Given its length I figured I'd read it now as I still have to work through the rest of Three Musketeers before I pick up any other books. Really enjoyed it, though. It had a classic fairy-tale/nursery rhyme vibe to it. It definitely deserves further reads, as I'm sure I may have overlooked a lot of stuff, plus the art is fantastic (flowed very well after reading LFFC).
