Beginning with the big jolly Santa on the cover consulting his book of "Extra Good Boys and Girls," NORMAN ROCKWELL'S CHRISTMAS BOOK overflows with the good cheer of the season. It contains selections by writers as diverse as Shakespeare, Mark Twain, Saki, Langston Hughes, W.H. Auden, and Fannie Farmer (whose sumptuous Christmas dinner, c. 1896, is featured), and is illustrated, of course, by the master celebrator of American life, Norman Rockwell, with 83 color plates and 12 black-and-white. Also included are words and music to 15 favorite carols. The stories and poems were chosen by the artist's wife, Molly, a former English teacher.

Originally published by Abrams in 1977, "Norman Rockwell's Christmas Book "is a holiday classic that has remained a bestselling family treasure for over 30 years. With over 85 images from Norman Rockwell's archive of art, this fully redesigned edition brings a fresh, contemporary appeal to the original vintage volume.
This holiday favorite features timeless art, including images of children sleigh-riding, families caroling, and Santa preparing for his big night, in addition to 15 new images culled from Rockwell's extensive archive and eight ready-to-frame limited-edition prints. Alongside these lush illustrations are Christmas poems and stories from beloved writers such as Robert Frost, Langston Hughes, Hans Christian Andersen, and Lewis Carroll; as well as Christmas carol music and lyrics and Christmas dinner recipes from Fannie Merritt Farmer's 1896 cooking tome. "Norman Rockwell's Christmas Book "is the perfect present under the tree for Rockwell fans young and old.
