Presenting an Exquisite Leather-Bound Edition, expertly crafted by the prestigious organization "Rare Biblio" with Original Natural Leather that gracefully adorns the spine and corners. A twice told tale, but rarely has it been more charmingly told, than in this quaint little story of a forlorn and forgotten. Mariana (Marian Foster Curtiss), the creator of Miss Flora McFlimsey and her little world of animals and dolls, was born in 1909, in Cleveland, Ohio. The Miss Flora McFlimsey book series by multiple authors includes books Miss Flora McFlimsey's Easter Bonnet, Miss Flora McFlimsey and the Baby New Year, Miss Flora McFlimsey's Birthday, and several more. An Original Leather is being used for binding this book with Golden Leaf Printing and designing on Spine, front and Back of the book with edge gilding.In any case, I found this a fairly engaging tale, particularly as I enjoy doll stories that have a melancholy streak in them, and Miss Flora's early loneliness definitely fit the bill. It is a tale about an old doll in a toy cupboard in the attic who decides to see the Christmas Tree one more time thanks to the stories about it from Timothy Mouse. Original edition was published in [1949] and this unique edition is Reprinted in 2022 with the help of original edition. The allure continues with Golden Leaf Printing that adds a touch of elegance, while Hand Embossing on the rounded spine lends an artistic flair. She also received many letters from grandmothers and great-grandmothers who remembered the nineteenth-century poem by William Allen Butler about the original Miss Flora McFlimsey, which was her inspiration for the Miss Flora stories.

The news stimulated Miss Flora to such an extent that she went downstairs and seated herself under the Christmas tree, old clothes, dust, and all. WE HAVE MULTIPLE OPTIONS IN COLOR OF LEATHER RED, GREEN, BLUE, MAGENTA, TAN, DEEP BROWN, BLACK WITH DIFFERENT COLOR LABELS. Then one evening, when her murine friend tells her of the unusual goings on downstairs, and she realizes that it is Christmas Eve, Miss Flora, leaving her hermitage for the first time in years, sets out to see the Christmas tree, having an unexpected encounter with Santa Claus in the process, and finding her dearest wish granted. As an adult, she lived and worked in a studio on Madison Avenue, in New York City in the fall, winter and spring. If the original book was published in multiple volumes then this reprint is of only one volume, not the whole set.

I remember reading Flora McFlimsy books when I was a very young child, checking them out at the library when I first was able to get a library card. This endearing little book has the shining simplicity and the ageless appeal that is felt in the best loved for children the world over.A team of professionals has expertly processed each page, delicately preserving its content without alteration. This is the story of Miss Flora McFlimsey, an old forgotten doll who lived in an attic with a torn box of tiddlywinks, a fat sheep on wheels, and an old, old doll's trunk. Originally published in 1949, and then reprinted in this 1988 edition, Miss Flora McFlimsey's Christmas Eve is the first of nine picture-books devoted to the adventures of this sweet, lady-like doll, whose name is taken from William Allen Butler's nineteenth-century children's poem, Nothing to Wear. I am thinking of passing it on to my granddaughter for her new baby girl; hoping she will also cherish it.
