About the book:
THROUGH THE NIGHT by Rachel Field. It was the birds and beasts and insects of the stable that watched over the little group with awe and kindliness the night that Christ was `born. And when day- light came to dim the bright Star in the sky, they were the first to praise. The cock lifted his voice and every living thing in the stable joined the chorus It is the tale of these first worshipers that night in Bethlehem particularly the dog in the manger, that we have in this gentle interpretation of the Christmas story. Illustrations by the Author. Dust Jacket price listed as Fifty Cents.
