"The New Year's Carol" by Johanna Spyri is a children's story written in the early 20th century. The book highlights themes of innocence and perseverance through the tale of a struggling family in a Swiss village during a harsh winter. The narrative revolves around the children's efforts to uplift their family's spirits and find food during difficult times through the tradition of singing carols. The story follows Barty, a young boy, and his little sister Franzelie, who seek to help their widowed mother, Afra, by singing a New Year's carol. Despite their struggles with poverty and cold, the children bravely venture into the village to sing, hoping to earn bread and warmth. Their heartfelt performance captures the attention of kind strangers, which not only brings them food but also leads to a larger legacy of community support. The tale emphasizes the importance of faith, kindness, and the blessings that can come from helping others, beautifully encapsulated in the motto they learn: “Whoever trusts the good God’s care will surely find a blessing.” (This is an automatically generated summary.) en Switzerland -- Social life and customs -- Juvenile fiction New Year -- Switzerland -- Urnäsch -- Juvenile fiction PZ Text Browsing: Children & Young Adult Reading Browsing: Culture/Civilization/Society Browsing: Fiction 58173 58175 2024-09-27T04:20:26.347546 2023-09-28T04:56:54.025464 text/html text/html 58047 2021-04-28T04:30:06 text/html; charset=utf-8 865074 2024-09-27T04:20:28.944557 application/epub+zip 863849 2024-09-27T04:20:26.985591 application/epub+zip 90814 2024-09-27T04:20:26.666534 application/epub+zip 895632 2024-09-27T04:20:30.484577 application/x-mobipocket-ebook 883281 2024-09-27T04:20:28.625589 application/x-mobipocket-ebook 111363 2022-09-29T10:36:45.316949 application/x-mobipocket-ebook 43407 43435 2024-09-27T04:20:26.095552 2023-09-28T04:56:53.813460 text/plain; charset=us-ascii text/plain 43229 2021-04-28T04:30:30 text/plain; charset=utf-8 19530 2024-09-27T04:20:30.620531 application/rdf+xml 19227 2024-09-27T04:20:26.743569 image/jpeg 3026 2024-09-27T04:20:26.704552 image/jpeg 824487 2024-09-27T04:20:26.388531 application/octet-stream application/zip Archives containing the RDF files for *all* our books can be downloaded at https://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Gutenberg:Feeds#The_Complete_Project_Gutenberg_Catalog de.wikipedia en.wikipedia
