About This Item
New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1940. First Edition. Hardcover. A superb copy! Fine in a Fine dustwrapper in the apparently original, and as far as we can tell, unrecorded pale blue envelope, which has a number of tears but seems to be virtually complete. Fritz Kredel. Decorated boards with matching dustwrapper. Illustrated by Fritz Kredel. A scarce title by this beloved First Lady, especially so when SIGNED by her, as this copy is on the half-title page.
Synopsis
Penned during WWII, the story Christmas by Eleanor Roosevelt addresses the painful losses of war. Set in the occupied Netherlands, in 1940, this book tells the tale of a little Dutch girl named Marta, who struggles to find love and peace after her father is killed in the war.
