William Shakespeare is here, and so is Fannie Merritt Farmer (Christmas Dinner from The Original Boston Cooking-School Cookbook, 1896!; Hans Christian Andersen is here, and so is Lewis Carroll; Anatole France is here and so is Mark Twain; John Milton is here and so is Ogden Nash.

Offering the thrill of recognition and the delights of new discovery, this charming volume is a christmas gift book to please every tast and every age.

The pictures - 83 plates in full colour and 12 in black and white - have been chosen from Rockwell's entire body of work to illustrate the many varied Christmas themes. Some lucky readers will come to these marvelously human and true to life pictures afresh; others, equally fortunate, will come to them with remembrance and affection.

Hardback book in good read condition with unclipped clear plastic dust jacket, book has sustained bumping to front corners and lighter bumping to back corners, inscription on FEP and a little light reading and handling wear
