Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Christmas Outside of Eden" by Coningsby Dawson is a charming Christmas fantasy written in the early 20th century. The narrative captures the moment of the world's first Christmas, exploring the events surrounding the birth of the first baby. The story intertwines elements of Genesis with a whimsical take on the early days of humanity and nature, illustrating the complex emotions of longing, love, and redemption. In this imaginative tale, the Man and Woman, cast out of Eden for their transgressions, struggle to survive in a harsh wilderness filled with judgmental animals. The Woman falls ill and the Man desperately seeks a way to help her. As a fierce snowstorm blankets the earth on Christmas Eve, the Man embarks on a journey to find God, hoping to plead for forgiveness. Upon his return, he finds the Woman has miraculously given birth to their child, prompting a joyous celebration among the animals and a surprising reaction from God, who learns the profound joy of laughter through the birth of this child. The story weaves humor and tenderness, creating a beautiful exploration of innocence, love, and the spirit of Christmas.
