Christmas With the Rural Mail - Softcover
A gentle poem describing the journey of a mail sleigh through rural Nova Scotia at Christmastime, delivering packages and parcels to children, Christmas with the Rural Mail is a Canadian holiday classic. The poem is carefully crafted to fit Maud Lewis's colorful paintings, and the mail sleigh passes children skiing and tobogganing, oxen and Clydesdale horses pulling heavy loads, and the train station, among other classic rural winter scenes. Lewis's artwork is ideal for babies and toddlers, with its bright colors and simple forms, and the paintings and poem together perfectly evoke Christmases gone by. This is a sturdy board book edition great for young readers.

About the Author:
Maud Lewis (1903-1970) was one of Canada's most celebrated folk artists. Although her hands were riddled with arthritis and she lived in abject poverty, she filled her tiny house in Nova Scotia with joyful paintings. People loved her style and would visit her house from all over to purchase her work. She is the subject of the film Maudie (2017), starring Sally Hawkins and Ethan Hawke.
