This timeless classic by Charles Dickens has had many renditions and adaptations of Ebenezer Scrooge's transition from miserly and miserable to giving and generous, through a Christmas Eve visit from three spirits: Christmas Past, Present and Future. This is Bernadine Stetzel's adaptation. Mrs. Stetzel elegantly illustrates over a hundred pages in her detail oriented, American-primitive style of painting. The text is hand printed by Mrs. Stetzel in a lovely readable fashion which adds personal charm to her adaptation of this immortal tale.

A young boy has a crush on a beautiful girl that lives on a nearby hill. He tries to think of a way to tell the girl his feelings, but the words just wouldn't come. As February arrived, he thought of buying a beautiful valentine, but he couldn't find one that expressed how he felt. So he set about making one . . . will this valentine express his true feelings?

"Is there (really) a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow?" In Mrs. Stetzel's hand-printed text, read about a boy's search for a rainbow's proverbial "pot of gold," then realizing he'd had it all along-with his friends.

Instead of the usual Victorian-style illustrations, for this age-old Christmas poem by Mr. Moore, Bernadine Stetzel illustrated the story as in her father's birthplace log home and surrounding area of Seneca Country, Ohio in her remarkable American-primitive style of painting. The text is hand printed by Mrs. Stetzel in a lovely readable style which adds personal charm to this story.
