The Snow Goose and the Small Miracle. de Gallico, Paul; Linton, Anne (drawings); Norfield, Edgar (drawings) - 1967

London: Penguin Books, 1967. Reprint ed.. Paperback, very good condition, black & white drawings, pages lightly toned, small crush mark top edge, minor edgewear, owner's written name, cover design differs from stock photo. 78 pp. Two classic stories for young adults by Paul Gallico. The first is a moving story of Dunkirk. A beautiful tale of a hunchbacked artist, a girl, a wounded bird and a courageous act at Dunkirk. The second is a delightful classic about a boy and his special donkey named Violetta. Violetta falls ill and the boy is permitted by the Pope to take his donkey into the church where the bones of St. Francis are interred. Beautifully written and hauntingly moving, these two stories - one a love story from the second World War, the other a contemporary fable - are endearing classics of the storyteller's art.
