Bill and Nell and the Little Tree Nobody Wanted Clara E. Martin

It was several weeks before Christmas when Bill and his little sister Nell were driven out to the Christmas tree lot to select a tree. While Father was chopping down the one of the family's choice, Nell coaxed Bill to dig up a little tree that no one seemed to want and take it home with them. He finally conceded, and it wasn't long until that little tree graced their back yard. After Nell and her friend Trixie spent the evening decorating it, they stood back anticipating the joy this little tree would bring them after giving it lots of tender loving care. Little did they realize the unexpected events that would follow - events providing a mixture of adventure, fantasy, suspense and Christian morals all rolled up into one.
