Almost every picture of this little book could make a beautiful Christmas card! Not religious myself but I'd say Gale Thomas's illustrations capture the Christmas spirit better than any of the commercial imagery forced upon us every year! From what I could find on Joan Gale Thomas (1910-1988) this was her first book and she went on to produce a number of other titles mainly on religious themes. Here's a link on a small biography: http://www.sarahcolegrave.co.uk/artists/d/joan-gale-thomas/6775
