Sobre este artículo
Norfolk: New Directions, 1954. Softcover. Fine. Long galleys of the first separately printed edition (originally published in *Quite Early One Morning*). Five leaves, printed rectos only, and an unprinted cover sheet, all folded. Slight offsetting to the unprinted cover sheet, else fine. Accompanied by a first edition of the finished book as issued by New Directions, which is fine in near fine, slightly age-toned dustwrapper. Also accompanied by a fine copy of the New Directions edition of *Quite Early One Morning* (fine in fine, lightly rubbed dustwrapper with wraparound band promoting *A Child's Christmas in Wales*, an Advance Review Copy with slip laid in). A beloved little gem, this story of Christmas in Wales was recorded by Thomas, and became a Christmas classic, necessitating this separate edition. Ex-Ned Erbe, director of publicity for New Directions. Rare. One of two sets of which we are aware.
Sinopsis
A young boy named Thomas is excited about the holiday, but he's also disappointed because it's raining instead of snowing. His grandfather gives him an old snow globe as an early Christmas present and starts telling colorful, amusing stories about his childhood Christmases that are shown in flashback.
