"The Gift Of The Magi"

Today's Holiday Children's Book is actually a tale written for adults. "The Gift of the Magi" by O'Henry. It's a tale doubtless we all know and there is nothing diverted from or enhanced in the text of this version. It is the illustrations that set it apart! Elisabeth Zwerger is on that pantheon of top ten illustrators for me. She creates sparse, ethereal, dreamlike images that both highlight the starkness of the story and elevate it to a place of sublime wonderment. You must consider owning this one at any price. Happy Holidays!
