Christmas Eve, 1813... Heavy snowfall blankets Canterbury, forcing travelers to pay homage to Archbishop Thomas Becket indoors on Christmas Eve. Cassia Beaugre Ransome has taken refuge at Klaus Haus to celebrate the season and deliver valuable supplies to Frau Klaus and her staff. While she awaits her husband Ansell's arrival, she tells a yarn about three ships and yuletide miracles while longing for one of her own. The Pirate's Yuletide Treasure is a short story inspired by The Canterbury Tales and the Great London Fog and Frost of 1813. During the snowiest winter recorded in the last three hundred years, a storm considered by newspapers to be the worst to hit the British Isles since 1795, heavy snow fell on Canterbury, cutting the city off for at least six days, forcing holiday-makers to beg for lodging. Previously published under the title The Pirate's Yuletide Haven in the anthology, A Christmas Brothel: A Set of Canterbury Christmas Tales
