Child's Christmas in New England

Description: In A Child's Christmas in New England, Robert Sullivan and Glenn Wolff return together to their favorite subject. This is a memoir about a time when, and place where, (in the New England of the '50s and '60s), the snow was always deep and a light was always on in the window.

Brief description: Glenn Wolff is a master of the natural and unnatural, having rendered animals both real and mythical in books by Robert Sullivan, Jerry Dennis and many others. A formidable talent, he also plays stand-up bass in a terrific jazz combo, the Neptune Quartet. He lives and works in Traverse City, Michigan, and his art is familiar to readers of The New York Times, to which he has contributed for more than 30 years.

Review Quotes: Master collaborators Robert Sullivan and Glenn Wolff have done it again! This time, they breathe inspired life into the ghosts of Christmas past, capturing the good old days when Christmas was always white, the snow really was waist-high, the turkey was perfectly cooked, the tinselshimmered on a towering tree, and the sledding runs went on forever. When I reached The End, I felt that same empty-full-happy-sad feelingthat used to wash over me after the last present under the tree had been unwrapped and I'd begin counting the days till Christmas came again. -- George Howe Colt, author of The Big House and Brothers
