Excerpts from holiday stories and poems accompany illustrations by H. Willebeek Le Mair, Arthur Rackham, Walter Crane, Jessie Willcox Smith, and others. Most of the selections are well known; it's the vintage reproductions of paintings and other art that makes this Christmas volume notable. As handsome as it is, this compilation will most likely appeal to nostalgic adults.
