    About this ebook

    It’s Alice Mongoose’s first Christmas in Hawaii. She misses her family and is resigned to spending the holiday alone. Alistair Rat would love to spend Christmas with his best friend Alice, but he’s afraid that Alice has more exciting things to do than spend time with a solitary rat.

    Fortunately, the outspoken Cordelia Canetoad knows just what to do!

    The Alice Mongoose and Alistair Rat stories are classic tales of friendship, beloved to this day by children of all ages. Alice Mongoose’s recent renaissance may be credited to the efforts of Mary Pfaff’s granddaughter, Dorothy Pfaff. A new generation of parents and children have come to appreciate the books’ unselfconscious multiculturalism, sensible life lessons, and positive main characters.

    This reissue of the Alice Mongoose stories is faithful to the original printing and in keeping with Dorothy’s memories of her grandmother reading to her.

    Mary Pfaff

    Mary Pfaff, acclaimed as “the Beatrix Potter of Hawaii,” was born about 1875 in Brockton, Minnesota. At the age of twenty-two, she moved to Hawaii to work at the Hawaiian Gazette. There she met and married local businessman William Apana. Mary wrote and illustrated the Alice Mongoose stories to entertain their young daughter Mildred. William arranged to have Mary’s delightful sketches and stories printed as hardcover books. With this reissue of the original stories, a new generation of children can enjoy Alice and Alistair’s adventures on Hawaii’s Hamakua Coast.
