Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 36 Pages Indexed. Book is in very good condition. The pages are bright, tight, and white. This book is titled The Snow Image A Childish Miracle. The author is Nathaniel Hawthorne with a Prefatory note by Herbert Ross Brown. The book was published by The Bradford Press in Portland, Maine in 1934. Of this book 300 copies were printed in December, 1934, at the Bradford Press Portland, Maine. The text is that of the first American Edition. The Copy No. has been left blank. The front and back boards have no printing. The spine edge has the title and the author but are hard to read. The Snow-Image appeared for the first time in the pages of The International Magazine in October, 1850. A year later the story gave its name to a volume of other twice-told tales which the author confessed he had raked together from the musty and mouse-nibbled pages of old periodicals. To Nathaniel Hawthorne's children, however, this lovely fantasy was a more than twice-told tale. It was their cherished possession before the manuscript reached the hands of the printer. So many times had they heard their father read it they could repeat most of the narrative by heart. The joy which little Una and Julian Hawthorne had in their radiant snow- sister has since been shared by countless children everywhere. In these magic pages, lovers of Hawthorne have found the dew of youth and the freshness of heart, nurtured in the author's peculiar solitude, and never lost in his later rude encounters with the dusty world.
