Stated: First Edition About the book (from the dust jacket) When Marv and Joseph traveled to Bethlehem. they took shelter in a stable. But before they arrived, many different animals already called the manger home. What did the beasts think of the miraculous birth? How did it change their lives? Here, on jewellike pages, some of the most beloved poets of childhood- Elizabeth Coatsworth, Rumer Godden. Phyllis McGinley, Norma Farber - give us their answers to those questions. We see the donkey praying for another glimpse of the child he helped carry so long; the barn cat wondering why princes who once worshiped cats are now kneeling to a baby; even a snake surprised that a mere boy would reach out from His crib to wipe the hate from a serpent's heart. In her first book, Beverly K. Duncan has created a gift that will carol its joyous message for years. And, as a bonus, each double page contains a mystery -tiny animals hidden within the background design for the eager reader to discover. About the author (from the dust jacket) Beverly K. Duncan grew up on a sugar plantation on the island of Kauai in Hawaii where her father was plantation manager. In that beautiful setting, her love of bright flowers was born. Studying graphic design at the University of California at Berkeley, she began to develop the original, patterned style that has become her hallmark in the many magazine covers, notecards, giftwraps, and catalogs she has designed and illustrated She now lives with her husband Nathaniel, and their two children, Megan and Stuart, in a remodeled barn set in a large meadow in Ashfield. Massachusetts. There. according to Ms. Duncan, they "raised bees until the bears got into the hives; and goats, pigs, chickens, and geese until we got tired of that kind of farming." Now they grow vegetables and have a large and colorful flower garden. A note from the illustrator (from the book) The background borders on each page of this book, with their floral designs, were inspired by medieval manuscripts, The animals are those mentioned in the poems, the plants associated either directly with the Christmas holiday or indirectly with other winter solstice celebrations. For example: bedstraw and sainfoin, which were part of the manger hay, were said to have burst into bloom at Christ's Birth Rosemary was thought to be sacred to Mary, who hung the Babe's swaddling clothes on it to dry. Both hawthorn and the Christmas rose supposedly bloomed originally on Christmas Day, as did the New World poinsettia that was carried as sticks by a poor Mexican girl who could bring no other gift to honor the Christ Child at her church. English holly, symbol of everlasting life; laurel, that special sign of achievement; mistletoe, the ancient symbol of peace; white pine and hemlock - all evergreens -are here as well, as they have long stood for the birth of the One who is forever.

Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. Beverly K. Duncan (Map) (illustrator). [12], 189, [7] pages. Contains poem and author's note. Contains one page map of South Vietnam. Based on the true story of the author, a naive nineteen-year-old who evolved into a combat-scarred soldier, this book about the Vietnam War captures vividly the psychology of combat. The author is a graduate of the University of Massachusetts and a writer. He has written and produced, for example, a PBS TV program entitled Fathers and Sons: Two Generations of American Combat Veterans. This worked has been recognized with numerous awards. Drafted in the spring of 1968 from a job as a sportswriter for a small, New England daily, six months later Norm Russell found himself serving in the infantry in Vietnam in an outfit nicknamed Suicide Charlie and fighting for his life against some of the North Vietnamese Army's top units. In a remarkable journey that takes the reader from a time of innocence and protest back in the States to the battle of Mole City where, in the author's words, he makes his acquaintance with the Devil, and then beyond into the despair and depravity of combat, the reader experiences the Vietnam War in gripping and graphic detail. For Russell, an unlikely soldier caught up in a war in which he did not believe, an outsider who grew up in a single parent home because his father committed suicide not long after returning from infantry duty in Europe during World War II, surviving the war meant learning to accept his own mortality, preparing to die, and then going on . . . Suicide Charlie is the true story of the evolution of a naive 19-year-old into a combat-scarred, Universal Soldier whose search for meaning speaks to questions asked by nearly all concerned citizens in the late 20th century.
