About this Item

Beautifully illustrated by Maginel Wright Barney (1877-1966), the talented younger sister of architect Frank Lloyd Wright, this is a magical Christmas tale which incorporates the Irish legend of St. Bridget & the Island of Iona. This was Sawyer's very first book, which fell into relative obscurity; she would become better known for her children's books, "Journey Cake-Ho!" & "Roller Skates." Orig. published in 1916, this is a 1944 edition, later printing, in 175 pages. Nearly a small quarto (7" x 9.5"), with green cloth over quarter black cloth-covered boards, lettered in gilt with a gilt design to spine. Condition is VG+: extremely clean, binding strong & straight, pages off-with age-appropriate, modest tanning, heavier around edges; unmarked save for old gift inscription dated 1951 to ffep. Mild rubbing to extremities & bumping to corners & spine tips. The frontispiece & 6 internal plates are flawless, with strong colors & crisp white borders. No DJ. Our photos depict the Exact book you will receive, never "stock" images of books we don't actually have! Same Day Shipping on all orders received by 2 pm Weekdays (Pacific time); later orders, weekends & holidays ship very next business day.
