First edition of this unusual turn-of-the-century children's Christmas poem with stunning photographic illustrations and additional in-text illustrations. Anna J. Granniss was a poet who largely concentrated on religious poetry. This expensively produced book for children features one of her Christmas poems about the beauty of the world becoming covered in snow as a child awaits Santa (and Santa prepares to deliver presents). The so-called "life photographs," unusual in a children's book of the era, make this title an exceptional choice for a future family heirloom. Without dust jacket. Inner paper hinge split but holding, a couple small marginal tears, binding with mounted cover photographic illustration quite lovely. A near-fine copy.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
