1989 Christmas by Sheila Pickles Vintage Illustrated Christmas Book In Sleeve

Christmas
Edited by Sheila Pickles
Published by Guild Publishing: London 1989
Includes Slip Case

"This beautifully produced anthology celebrates the traditions, sentiments and enduring charm of Christmas through a rich collection of classic verse and prose. Edited by Sheila Pickles, the volume gathers together stories, poems and reflections from a variety of authors, capturing the warmth, nostalgia and wonder associated with the festive season. The text is enhanced by numerous colour illustrations inspired by Victorian Christmas cards, seasonal artwork and winter scenes, lending the book a particularly attractive and evocative character.

Issued in 1989 for the renowned English perfumery Penhaligon's, the work was conceived as a luxurious gift book and was originally marketed as a "Scented Treasury of Verse and Prose." Beautifully bound with marbled paper-covered boards, green cloth spine and gilt lettering, the volume presents exceptionally well and is housed in its original red slipcase bearing an illustrated label to the front. The elegant design and high production values make it far more than a simple anthology, appealing equally as a decorative display piece and a book to be enjoyed during the Christmas season.

Filled with charming illustrations and selections that evoke traditional English Christmas celebrations, this handsome edition captures the spirit of Christmas in a manner reminiscent of Victorian gift books. Both attractive and uncommon in such complete form with its original slipcase, it would make a delightful addition to any library of seasonal literature or an ideal gift for collectors who appreciate finely produced books and nostalgic Christmas themes."

Light wear to slipcase and covers. There is an inscription as shown. The pages are very clean, bright and well presented. Binding is excellent with no loose pages. Aside from the inscription the book is hard to fault and in very good condition overall. Please study photos to further understand condition.
