Summary: Enchanting Story, Melted Heart
Comment: This is a fine piece of storytelling. Don Horton has created a work with such intricate design of the human spirit, it is difficult to believe that his characters are fictional. A definite must-read for anyone who enjoys a cup of tea, a fireplace, and words and illustrations that help us realize the true importance of life.

Summary: Love and Warmth
Comment: I've purchased this book as a gift for many, many friends and family members. No matter what their religious or cultural background the book resonates with everyone to whom I've given it. Like me, many have made the reading of this story a new Holiday tradition. I find that playing the audio cassette of the book in my car is great season primer, especially when things are just a little too hectic and I forget what the real meaning of Christmas is.

Last year a dear friend of mine was going on a cruise with her family over the Holiday season. Since her grown children were arriving from various parts of the country, I couldn't think of a more appropriate and easy to carry gift than The Chestnut Pan. When she returned from her trip she told me that she had gathered the family in the ship's library and had her son read the story aloud. She said that the simple act of sharing the story together was magical. They experienced a closeness they hadn't known in years. They all shared fond memories of Christmas' spent in Minnesota and chuckled over the many characters in their own lives that resembled those in the book.

The warmth and love written in the pages of this book are spread to all those with whom you share it. This is a beautiful story that immediately comes to life in full living color from beginning to end.

Summary: An old-fashioned love story with a timeless message
Comment: This heart-touching, tear-tugging, humor-laced tale about one family's unusual Christmas tradition will delight and satisfy the appetite of any story-hungry reader. Its family-friendly length and content, with pen-and-ink illustrations that bring the characters to life, is now one of my family's holiday traditions - reading it together and giving it to others. When I finished reading The Chestnut Pan it made me hope that this first book by Donald Horton, a master storyteller, will not be his last.
