The Little Big Book of Christmas gathers the pleasures of an old-fashioned Christmas into one wonderfully illustrated volume. Edited by Lena Tabori and designed by Timothy Shaner, this festive collection brings together classic poems, stories, carols, recipes, and holiday traditions, with selections from writers including Robert Frost, Ogden Nash, Lewis Carroll, Hans Christian Andersen, Louisa May Alcott, and Charles Dickens. The book includes 11 poems, 21 stories, 13 carols with music, and 14 recipes for holiday treats, accompanied by more than 200 illustrations, including 55 full-color nineteenth-century images that give the volume its cozy Victorian character. A charming book to browse by the fire, read aloud, sing from, or dip into throughout the holiday season, it is as much a handsome Christmas keepsake as it is an anthology of seasonal favorites. This copy is a First Edition, Second Printing in hardcover with its original dust jacket.
