Book Reviews of Norman Rockwell's Christmas Book: Revised and Updated
Book Review: Super Christmas gift of Americana and nostalgia!
Summary: 5 Stars
I own the original 1977 edition of this book so when I saw this 2009 revised edition I bought 2 - one for each of my daughters who are now grown and married. They enjoyed looking at and being read to from my copy of the book with me when they were little. They were both thrilled with this pre-holiday treat I presented to them when they came home at Thanksgiving. So pleased was I with the new book, I bought 3 more as gifts for bosses from a group of staff co-workers and another for an old friend!
The contents of art and stories are a quaint and lovely collection sure to provide enjoyment for years, I think. It has done that for me anyway. Rockwell was such a talented artist whose work defined a generation of Americans.
