Autorenporträt

James F. Bixby holds two degrees in classical languages and has taught in Michigan's public and parochial schools for the last thirty years. Teaching young people to uphold the highest ideals and values such as Christmas and its beauty has been a great part of Mr. Bixby's educational philosophy and method of teaching. Writing stories that clearly teach adults and children to cherish such family values, appreciate and emulate the virtuous life, and learn moderation and detachment from this world's possessions and inordinate pleasures and excessive love of money are, according to James Bixby, absolutely essential to the Christian world view for a happy life. No philosophy has so markedly influenced this centuries-old discussion on how to be happy and achieve this most sought-after joy in this world to James Bixby than the incarnation of Jesus Christ and all the glorious influences it has had upon human learning, philosophy, art, and personal happiness now and in the hereafter. This is why "Old Dingledorf Square," a Christmas poetry, and The Mystery of the Christmas Dollhouse, a novelette, were written-to applaud this most awesome of events in human history and to study more closely the hidden significances and ramifications of the birth of the Savior of the world.
