Here's another book illustrated by the great Fritz Eichenberg. A Child's Christmas in Wales
has five full page wood engravings done by Eichenberg, all top notch. Love it. The story, written by Dylan Thomas, who is considered one of the greatest poets and storytellers of the twentieth century. In it Thomas recalls the Christmas of his youth in Wales. A good read for this time of year.

The woodcut art is cool. It creates a feeling of fantastical. More woodcuts please!
