内容简介
Christmas picture books have been enchanting children and adults alike since they captured the imagination of readers in the latter half of the nineteenth century. .
Images from these charming picture books are enduring--a plump Santa Claus with snowy white beard, red suit and pipe, expectant children hanging stockings by the fire, and the silhouette of a sleigh and reindeer flying across a midnight-blue sky.
The delightful images here in The Old-Fashioned Santa Claus Picture Book were first produced in 1901 for the McLoughlin Co., renowned for its use of premier illustrators, such as Thomas Nast.
More than a century later, these timeless illustrations, so prized by collectors, will endear themselves to a new generation of Christmas picture book readers, and continue to "make glad the heart of childhood."
P.J.Shaw is a journalist andcchildren's author whocfondly recalls Christmases growing up in the South--huddling under the covers on December 24,whispering withcher big sister and waiting for the sounds of reindeer on the roof.
She hold a degree in English from Vanderbilt University and a master's in mass communications from the University of Florida.
Her home is in historic Franklin, Tennesse, a restored, nineteenth-century city which holds a "Dickens of a Christmas" celebration each December. She lives with her children, Brendan and Elisabeth, who, she hopes, will never be too old for Santa Claus.
