From the Publisher
The classic Christmas tale in an elegant new vertical trim
size, with completely new notes from the author and the illustrator
and a CD narrated by James Earl Jones.
Jonathan Toomey is the best woodcarver in the valley, but he is
always alone and never smiles. No one knows about the mementos of
his lost wife and child that he keeps in an unopened drawer. But
one early winter's day, a widow and her young son approach him with
a gentle request that leads to a joyful miracle. The moving,
lyrical tale, gloriously illustrated by P.J. Lynch, has been widely
hailed as a true Christmas classic.
