Dear Beryl:

Enjoyed the Christmas carols.  What is the source of those  ?
I would like To know where to get them, and is there more on Christmas for
children in theosophical literature.  There seems to be so little available
for the children of theosophists to use and grow on.

What books, for instance, should chidden have available to them to read
that could lead them toinvestigate Theosophy more deeply ?

Is there a list somewhere ?

		All the best to you and Norman 	Dallas
