The original book, designed and illustrated by Mr. Kent, was issued as the first title in the series of the American Artists Group Gift books in 1941. This facsimile edition of A Northern Christmas is a testament to the timeless appeal of one of America's greatest artists and storytellers." (back cover of slipcase). (Inventory #: 141235)
