| Summary | "The Story of the Mince Pie" by Josephine Scribner Gates is a children's book written in the early 20th century. The story creatively intertwines the magic of Christmas with the whimsical idea of dolls coming to life from a mince pie. Central to the narrative are young Jack and his mother, who are drawn into a fantastical world as they discover the lively dolls emerging from their seemingly ordinary dessert. At the start of the tale, Jack successfully persuades his mother to carry their freshly baked mince pie to bed to protect it from a mischievous mouse. As they settle in for the night, they witness something extraordinary: the pie begins to hum and humpy as dolls crafted from various ingredients spring forth and start to dance. Through their stories, each doll shares its unique origins, setting the stage for a series of amusing and delightful tales. The beginning of this lively exploration sets up a heartfelt and enchanting celebration of imagination, creativity, and the spirit of Christmas, underscoring the joy found in storytelling and sharing.
