Summary

"The Christmas Bishop" by Winifred Margaretta Kirkland is a touching story set in the early 1900s, where a Bishop in the town of Westbury thinks deeply about the meaning of Christmas, his past loves, and what he has lost. As Christmas arrives, the Bishop remembers happy times with his wife and daughter. He also reflects on his dreams, where he sees a sad child looking for love, matching how lonely he feels. The story shows how Westbury has stayed beautiful and how the Bishop wants to feel closer to the people there. We also meet Mrs. Graham, his housekeeper, who is having a hard time with her own family issues, which brings up the idea of forgiving and healing during Christmas. The whole book is filled with a dreamy, thoughtful mood.
