Merry Christmas

The First Noel
The First Noel illustrated by Alice & Martin Provensen. 1959. This is my staple Christmas post - I absolutely love the illustrations in this book and will share this with you, my readers annually because they are so worth sharing. Enjoy.

Merry Christmas to you and yours, people.

With much love, peace & happiness,
Ward Jenkins aka Ward-O-Matic.

    Ooh! I love the Provensens so much. Their style evolved so much over their illustration careers. Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas to you and yours!

    I have my Giant Golden Book of the Iliad and the Odyssey in front of me as I type this. It was my first book given to me by my mom, c. 1965. The Provensens are just tops!
