Industry Reviews "Here, gentle reader, we meet almost every creaky plot element in Victorian fiction. But this tale of a young family that moves in with an elderly widow and discovers 'the true meaning of Christmas' is no dusty novel from the last century...'The Christmas Box' is currently number two on the New York Times best-seller list...Evans will never rival Dickens's literary talents, but he bests him in marketing genius." Newsweek - Malcolm Jones Jr. (12/11/1995)
