| Summary | "The Inventor. Introducing the Wishing Box. A Christmas Play" by Elsie Duncan Yale is a holiday-themed play likely written in the early 20th century. This lighthearted work revolves around a charming tale set on a snowy Christmas Eve, focusing on themes of transformation and the magic of the holiday spirit through the use of a mystical wishing box. The play brings together a colorful cast of characters in a cozy rural setting, exploring their interactions and desires as they navigate the joys of the season. The story unfolds in the sitting room of Faraway Farm, where Aunt Susan and a hired boy named Abner welcome unexpected guests stranded by a snowstorm. As the evening progresses, a mysterious inventor arrives with a wishing box that allows the characters to fulfill their holiday wishes, leading to delightful transformations. Each character, from the young and carefree Edith to the grumpy yet endearing Abner, expresses their desires and experiences whimsical changes, ultimately discovering the joys of friendship, generosity, and the true meaning of Christmas. The play culminates with cheer and laughter as the characters celebrate their newfound selves and the warmth of the holiday season, encapsulating the spirit of giving and magic associated with Christmas.
