Description
It’s Christmas Eve in Maine, and Miss Moody and her boarders Millie and Emery – as well as her pup Smittens – are all tucked into bed, when out in the barnyard there arises such a clatter…!
Turns out that Santa’s reindeer have come down ill and need a chance to recuperate. But what of the toys for the good girls and boys? Thanks to some old-fashioned down-on-the-farm ingenuity, Santa gets back on schedule with the help of a motley but willing crew like none you’ve ever dreamed of.
About the Author
Douglas Coffin, with a background in graphic design, produced his nationally syndicated cartoon strip “Fletcher’s Landing” in the early 1980s. He published editorial cartoons in a weekly paper for 20 years while also working as a commercial illustrator, typographer and art director. In 1987 he began his career as a lettercutter in stone, hand-carving memorials, donor walls and building dedications. He also demonstrates and teaches the history of letterforms and the alphabet. ONE MAINE CHRISTMAS EVE originally appeared, in a slightly altered state, in 1978 in The Maine Times. This is his first book. Douglas lives in Stockton Springs, Maine.
Praise For…
A delightful variation on the Santa Claus legend, in which not Rudolph but
a whole gaggle of critters save the day, or rather the eve, a.k.a. ‘The Night
before Christmas.’
