Did you know that Judy Garland played a major role in the in
re-writing of “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” undoubtedly making it
the classic it is today? Or that Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer was written by
a father who was unable to afford a gift for his daughter in the wake of the Great
Depression? Ace Collins’ Stories Behind the Best-Loved Songs of Christmas –
which we’re offering FREE for a limited time – offers up the great back stories
of these beloved standards as well as 29 others.
This eEdition is illustrated and contains a forward from country music’s Louise Mandrell citing Collins as her “favorite writer” and the “best storyteller” she knows.
NOOK owners: go to shop, and search “Ace Collins” to download his books.

Hi, Jeremy, nice to finally meet you. I have been wanting to re-read Anna Karenina again, and will certainly enjoy Stories Behind the Best-Loved Songs of Christmas. Both are great choices!

I love Free Fridays! I look forward to it every week. I thank you for the opportunity to read books I may not have otherwise purchased. Free Fridays has taken me on many adventures since I purchased my Nook last Christmas.

Wow this is so cool. I recently bought a nook color because I just had to have one and never even noticed about this great thing of free fridays. Gives me another reason to brag about the nook.

I had saw the one earlier in the week and didn't get it but might now and just to let other's know if you haven't read Anna yet it's a great book. Read it a year ago so won't get it this time. (too many good books out there to do rereads) I'm not into classaics but reading Anna even though it's a bfb it was worth it.
