Christmas-Themed Historical Fiction Books 

The Santa Claus Girl by Patricia P. Goodin

The Santa Claus Girl is set in 1952 New York, where cab driver Ben Wilson learns that a young girl with polio needs an iron lung but none are available. His old army friend Joe has a plan to help, and a rookie reporter picks up the story without realizing how big it will become. As a snowstorm closes in, the city must work together to save the girl. The heart of this book is about ordinary people doing something extraordinary at Christmas.

New York City cab driver Ben Wilson was enjoying his drive to the airport that February morning in 1952. His passenger was his WWII army buddy, pilot Joe Martinez, who’d just formed a small air cargo company with two weathered C-47s, luck, and a prayer. With the best of intentions the men promise to stay in touch.

The year passes quickly, filled with extraordinary news events. The height of the polio epidemic spreads across America—with no vaccine available. Candidates spar in a Presidential election year. The Senate votes for sweeping immigration reform. Two US citizens remain jailed for conspiring with the Russian government. And July becomes the hottest month ever recorded for New York. A great year for news stories and a banner year for newspapers.

In December, a cocky young reporter named David Lindsey is assigned to interview “the Santa Claus Girl,” now a principal at P.S. 401 at New York General Hospital, where classes are held for children unable to attend traditional schools. After an eye-opening interview, David learns that a little girl was recently hospitalized with the onset of polio. The girl’s life depends on treatment in an iron lung, but because of the scale of the epidemic none are available. The reporter stumbles upon the story of Ben and Joe who’ve devised a daring plan to raise money to purchase the respirator for the young patient. Ben reveals they were inspired by their former teacher Virginia O’Hanlon—“the Santa Claus Girl.” Unaware of the story’s front-page potential, the rookie reporter unwittingly amplifies the plans of the humble do-gooders. David soon realizes that even if the money could somehow be raised, Ben must overcome a race against time, public fear of the disease, and demons from his past, to transport the life-saving machine to New York City. When a snowstorm threatens to close the airports, the cabbie’s colleagues mobilize to rescue the mission before it’s too late.

Armed with a new angle on his holiday story, the once cynical reporter discovers the power of the press is matched by the larger power of the people who unite for the greater good.

The Toymakers by Robert Dinsdale

Set in wartime London, The Toymakers introduces Cathy Wray, a homeless teenage girl who finds refuge inside Papa Jack’s magical Toy Emporium. The shop is filled with impossible toys—trees that grow from boxes, tin soldiers that fight on their own, and animals that feel alive. Cathy joins the family, but as Kaspar and Emil take on more responsibility and the war reaches them, she realizes even a place full of magic cannot stay untouched by heartbreak.

The Emporium opens with the first frost of winter. It is the same every year. Across the city, when children wake to see ferns of white stretched across their windows, or walk to school to hear ice crackling underfoot, the whispers begin: the Emporium is open!

It is 1917, and London has spent years in the shadow of the First World War. In the heart of Mayfair, though, there is a place of hope. A place where children’s dreams can come true, where the impossible becomes possible – that place is Papa Jack’s Toy Emporium.

For years Papa Jack has created and sold his famous magical toys: hobby horses, patchwork dogs and bears that seem alive, toy boxes bigger on the inside than out, ‘instant trees’ that sprout from boxes, tin soldiers that can fight battles on their own. Now his sons, Kaspar and Emil, are just old enough to join the family trade. Into this family comes a young Cathy Wray – homeless and vulnerable. The Emporium takes her in, makes her one of its own. But Cathy is about to discover that while all toy shops are places of wonder, only one is truly magical.

Christmas Bells by Jennifer Chiaverini

The meaning of Christmas shifts through time in Christmas Bells, which moves between 1860 and present-day Boston. In the past, poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow faces deep family loss during a divided moment in American history. In the present, music teacher Sophia loses her school program but finds comfort in preparing a Christmas Eve concert at church. A carol based on Longfellow’s words ties their stories together and shows how hope survives even in difficult seasons.

In 1860, the Henry Wadsworth Longfellow family celebrated Christmas at Craigie House, their home in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The publication of Longfellow’s classic Revolutionary War poem, “Paul Revere’s Ride,” was less than a month hence, and the country’s grave political unrest weighed heavily on his mind. Yet with his beloved wife, Fanny, and their five adored children at his side, the delights of the season prevailed.

In present-day Boston, a dedicated teacher in the Watertown public school system is stunned by somber holiday tidings. Sophia’s music program has been sacrificed to budget cuts, and she worries not only about her impending unemployment but also about the consequences to her underprivileged students. At the church where she volunteers as music director, Sophia tries to forget her cares as she leads the children’s choir in rehearsal for a Christmas Eve concert. Inspired to honor a local artist, Sophia has chosen a carol set to a poem by Longfellow, moved by the glorious words he penned one Christmas Day long ago, even as he suffered great loss.

Christmas Bells chronicles the events of 1863, when the peace and contentment of Longfellow’s family circle was suddenly, tragically broken, cutting even deeper than the privations of wartime. Through the pain of profound loss and hardship, Longfellow’s patriotism never failed, nor did the power of his language. “Christmas Bells,” the poem he wrote that holiday, lives on, spoken as verse and sung as a hymn.

Jennifer Chiaverini’s resonant and heartfelt novel for the season reminds us why we must continue to hear glad tidings, even as we are tested by strife. Reading Christmas Bells evokes the resplendent joy of a chorus of voices raised in reverent song.

Once Upon a Wardrobe by Patti Callahan Henry

In Once Upon a Wardrobe, Megs Devonshire studies physics at Oxford and believes only in logic. Her younger brother George, who is very ill, loves the world of Narnia and begs her to ask C. S. Lewis where it came from. When Megs visits Lewis and his brother Warnie, she doesn’t get a direct answer. Instead, she hears stories from Lewis’s life that slowly help her understand imagination, grief, and hope in a new way. What she brings back to George becomes a gift for both of them.

1950: Margaret Devonshire (Megs) is a seventeen-year-old student of mathematics and physics at Oxford University. When her beloved eight-year-old brother asks Megs if Narnia is real, logical Megs tells him it’s just a book for children, and certainly not true. Homebound due to his illness, and remaining fixated on his favorite books, George presses her to ask the author of the recently released novel The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe a question: “Where did Narnia come from?”

Despite her fear about approaching the famous author, who is a professor at her school, Megs soon finds herself taking tea with C. S. Lewis and his own brother Warnie, begging them for answers.

Rather than directly telling her where Narnia came from, Lewis encourages Megs to form her own conclusion as he slowly tells her the little-known stories from his own life that led to his inspiration. As she takes these stories home to George, the little boy travels farther in his imagination than he ever could in real life.

Lewis’s answers will reveal to Megs and her family many truths that science and math cannot, and the gift she thought she was giving to her brother—the story behind Narnia—turns out to be his gift to her, instead: hope.

Time of the Child by Niall Williams

In a small Irish village in 1962, Doctor Jack Troy and his daughter Ronnie take in a baby left at their door. The simple act changes everything around them. Through the Advent season, Time of the Child shows how caring for one child shifts their relationship, their roles in town, and how they see themselves.

From the author of This Is Happiness, a compassionate, life-affirming novel about the Christmas season that transforms the small Irish town of Faha.

Doctor Jack Troy was born and raised in Faha, but his responsibilities for the sick and his care for the dying mean he has always been set apart from the town. His eldest daughter, Ronnie, has grown up in her father’s shadow, and remains there, having missed one chance at love – and passed up another offer of marriage from an unsuitable man.

But in the Advent season of 1962, as the town readies itself for Christmas, Ronnie and Doctor Troy’s lives are turned upside down when a baby is left in their care. As the winter passes, father and daughter’s lives, the understanding of their family, and their role in their community are changed forever.

Set over the course of one December in the same village as Williams’ beloved This Is Happiness, Time of the Child is a tender return to Faha for readers who know its charms, and a heartwarming welcome to new readers entering for the very first time.

Jane and the Twelve Days of Christmas by Stephanie Barron
