ABOUT BOOK

Deacon Tubman, a jolly, fat, good-natured man, is presented with a woollen night-cap on New Year's morning by his housekeeper, "a typical spinster not overburdened with fat." This so rejoices the Deacon that he is possessed to make others happy, goes to call upon his pastor, and makes him leave his books and spend the day skating, sleighing, and driving with his parishioners.How Deacon Tubman and Parson Whitney Kept New Year'sThe Old Beggar's DogThe BallWho Was He?
