THIS IS THE CHRISTMAS

A Serbian Folk Tale, retold, and issued in a gift book — stocking size format on Flemish Book laid paper, and a type page that gives an impression of a private press job, perishable binding, paper on board, white with a decorative design in red and lettering in green — definitely a Christmas item for the holiday trade. The story tells of a blind little outcast who worships the Christ Child despite the community's refusal to accept him as a church member .... Ruth Sawyer's reputation with the library story tellers will give this book more library market appeal than it might have under another author's name.
