Celebrate the holiday spirit with three very different, but very musical, stories from author Anne B. Walsh: "Laeti Triumphantes": Isabel de Maine and Nevan O'Grady find they have similar taste in Christmas carols... what else will they share at Christmas, 1786? From the universe of the Chronicles of Glenscar. "Glorious Song of Old": Eleven-year-old Carol lives on a world where music is forbidden, but that doesn't stop her from wanting it. When a starship set up as a zoo comes to her planet deep in December, she discovers a secret about the creatures on display. The spirit of Christmas prompts her to set the captives free, but that might mean her own dreams will never come true... "The Angel and the Rose": Lady mage Cecily Ashe and her betrothed, Barnabas Lecomte of the Order of Middle Knights, invite you to a ball in honor of their Christmastime wedding. Commoners, or those without magic, need not apply. Come in costume, from a story you doubt the other guests will know. But keep your wits about you, for at this ball, nothing is as it seems...… (more)

I'm always a little nervous when it comes to volumes of short stories. They are usually so variable. Such was the case here.

I really enjoyed "Glorious Song of Old". It is about a young girl named Carol who has grown up in a world where music is banned. She has vague memories of music and has a talent for it so she feels a great longing for this forbidden fruit. A traveling exhibit of aliens comes to her dark and depressing world and she finds a kindred spirit ... and then some. This story struck a chord with me.

"The Angel and the Rose" is a costumed Christmas wedding with quite a twist. Interesting, but not quite my style.

I couldn't even find a story in "Laeti Triumphantes". Seems like something is missing, perhaps? ( )
