Summary: "Maisie's Merry Christmas" by Nina Rhoades is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a young girl named Maisie Barton, who faces disappointment during her family's holiday travels in Europe, particularly since they are away from home at Christmas. A significant part of the narrative focuses on her desire to bring joy to a less fortunate girl, Celeste, who is blind and lives in poverty. The central themes likely explore kindness, generosity, and the spirit of giving during the holiday season. The opening of the story introduces Maisie at her family's hotel in Nice, where she expresses her discontent about being away from home for Christmas. Her father suggests that instead of focusing on her own disappointment, she could try to make someone else's Christmas merry. This leads to Maisie's desire to give gifts to Celeste, who she discovers is in a difficult situation. As the narrative progresses, the reader sees Maisie shopping for thoughtful gifts to surprise Celeste, highlighting her growth and the importance of empathy. Ultimately, the story promises to convey a heartwarming Christmas message centered around selflessness and the joy of helping others in need. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
