About the book: (from the dust jacket)
COUNTRY CHRISTMAS A REMINISCENCE BY PAUL HOFPMAN. Its setting a fragrant and friendly woods not far from the lovely village of Wiscasset in Maine, this true story of a Christmas Eve records a ceremony as unique, as beautiful, as it is essentially American. For it is a modern mystery that is enacted within that close circle of light where bonfires flame and a great tree holds fat candles up to light the coming night, where friendliness breaks down all barriers, and those who gather there not only remember but create anew, the Christmas spirit. Written from the heart and in a prose of simple beauty, this little book fills two perennial Christmas needs-for something to read aloud and for the gift that is at once great and small. It should take its place in the literature that is loved. ILLUSTRATED BY HENRY C. PITZ
