Description

Published in Fall 2012 to glowing reviews; The Lost Christmas Gift quickly sold through its first printing to become a holiday hit and instant Christmas classic. Andrew Beckhams poignant tale features an exquisite book lovingly handmade by a father to show his son what really happened during an adventure they shared one blizzard Christmas Eve. Sixty years after his father left to be a mapmaker in the war in Europe; Emerson Johansson received a package that had been lost in the mail for decades. A remarkable book; lovingly handmade by his father; details an extraordinary adventure they shared together just months before his departure. Setting out into the mountains on Christmas Eve to cut a tree; they find themselves in a dangerous blizzard. Lost in the snow; they are helped by a mysterious silvery man who does not speak but leaves them a series of gifts that help them find their way home. The enigmatic mans image is not captured in the photographs the boy took with his new camera; pictures he believed; until now; were long lost. Little did he know that his father had taken the photographs with him to the battlefield. Featuring a lively combination of maps; vellum overlays; drawings; watercolors; and photographs; The Lost Christmas Gift faithfully reproduces the mysterious present; lost in the mail for decades; revealing that the silvery man in the woods who helped them get home was; in fact; no stranger; but somebody well-known to us all.
