The following list of holiday books are chosen for their heathen settings, themes, symbology, and/or values.

Although you will see the word "Christmas" in several titles, "Yule" would be a better choice based on the content of the stories. Unfortunately, Yule books are not in production this year.

If nothing else, the books are remarkable for their illustrations -- certain to appeal to children of all ages.
