The Birds' Christmas Carol — Talking Hologram Book
Hear the book talk first — this preview plays the book's own stage: Kate Douglas Wiggin herself standing in her gold frame, reading her Christmas story of 1887 aloud in Amy's voice. The full book runs about 72 minutes.
On the book's own stage, Kate Douglas Wiggin herself — her portrait of 1893 — stands in a gold frame and talks: she reads her own Christmas story of 1887 whole, in Amy's voice, with Elsie Baker's “Silent Night” of 1912 underneath — the story of Carol Bird, born on Christmas Day, who spends her last Christmas giving her own dinner and her own gifts away to the poor Ruggles children next door. Kate Douglas Wiggin died in 1923 — her hundred years have run, and her own words are read exactly as she wrote them: nothing added, nothing cut, nothing rewritten.
