Renowned Western writer Max Brand does it again in the eminently enjoyable Adventure Classics "The Boy Who Found Christmas ". Packed with enough action and romance to please even the most die-hard fans of the genre, the work also addresses a wide range of important themes with insight and sensitivity. This classics appeal extends far beyond the core audience for Westerns - give it to a yet-to-be-won-over friend or loved one, and soon theyll be clamoring for more. The plot is well constructed with well drawn subsidiary characters and provides a number of interesting twists. Highly recommended, especially for those who love the Old Western genre.
