We have more than fifty versions of this wonderful poem in our
library; this is one of our favorites. Margaret Evans Price has a
gentle talent. The Santa Claus on the cover, and throughout, is one
of the kindest, least threatening Santas ever imagined. Notice how
his knees are slightly bent by the weight of his pack. See his big
and prominent boots. This is a Santa who is appealingly earth
bound. This is a facsimile of the 1917 edition. We have die-cut it,
as in the original, and the rounded top makes it especially
appealing. This is an ideal first Night Before Christmas for a
young child.
A classic Grimm's fairy tale in an appealing facsimile of a shaped
1916 edition. Hansel and Gretel tells the story of two siblings who
brave a night in the dark woods and cleverly defeata witch who
lives in an deliciously tempting gingerbread house. Margaret Evans
Price (1888-1973) was a prolific American illustrator of fairy
tales and children's stories. Her gentle yet archetypal style
achieves the right tension between the sweetness of the children
and their plight and the scariness of the witch and her fiendish
plans. Hansel and Gretel is the third title in the Green Tiger
series of facsimile reproductions of shape-cut children's picture
books. The previous two titles. The Night Before Christmas and The
Three Bears have proven to be very popular.
